The modern trees Their feet rooted into the electrical earth below No longer growing ..bound to a pole For their lives draw forth the energy from the static fields Serving man, serving Order A thankless task waiting.. waiting for the time for their duty to end ..when a drunk drives into her a silent screech .. and her lights dim darkness... The mourning of for the driver.. not for she who have served.. forgotten.. A pile of twisted metal |

It's an interesting poem though, in a pantheistic way. One has to wonder not about the stately lady serving Order, but what of the gremlin propelling the drunkard through the city, and the havoc they may have committed prior to this atrocity? And for this, shouldn't Artemis smite Dionysus for allowing the drunk to destroy?

Be ye at rest, o keeper of powers
Be ye at peace, o reformed one
Be ye asleep, your task complete.
