Anger racing,
screaming,
searing toward destruction.

Nature following instinct
with inflamed intention –
to stop the madness!

To sacrifice itself
for the ultimate good
of it’s mortal enemy –
it fought for our freedom
from technological advancement
and certain end at our own hand.

It lost.
This time.

But if you touch carefully –
or listen to the silence,
one can still feel the heat
of determination
and hear the profound cost
of the quest.
