I burnt down an empty cabin once,
I didn't know whether or not if it was abandoned,
Whom it belonged to last,
What kind of wood it was made of,
How long ago it was made,
If it helped raise children,
Created everlasting fond memories,
Suffered and gone through hardships,
Or housed creativity, love, or fear.
All that I knew was that it represented
Man's attempt at dominance
Over concepts it can't understand.
I just wanted to keep the cycle going.
