The road only filled

With the sound of my pounding

Footsteps as the sky turns

Red as blood and I hear

The scream of nature

Begging to be heard,

Going on infinitely and

Soon becoming unspeakably

Tired as the echoes

Continued traveling through

My head and the sky

Becomes a groaning

Raspy groan from deep

Within these soon to

Be thunder-filled clouds

As the people coming

Up behind me only

See red as a color

And not as if our

Friend nature has feelings
