Billions of trees for millions of people
And for the greatest show that ever happened.
Animals, birds, humans of kinds so many
Trained to amuse and be laughed at.
Spreading their wings in cages, Birds sing
But the Chirping Crowd is so overwhelming.
The songs sound like old women after long starving,
Tigers mew with dancing whips in fire rings;
Gladiators kill them by sword swings.
Dolphins fly high in the sky with fins too large,
Dragonflies in groups dive into the water,
like a broken helicopter, and they all die.
Crocodiles and Snakes only eat leaves.
They don't crawl anymore, now they roll.
Bats with eyes as big as the whole earth’s lie
Not with ear don't know what is fear.
Leopard, horse, deer, and many more runs
In a sprint, all are behind and the turtle wins.
A circus so well, the gentles are now cruel
And all predators have become game.
Wings, legs, hands, eyes, ears are so mixed up
In the chaos of life, they all have given up.
When they thought no more wonder is left,
There comes a man, lips carved and open,
With a smile too beautiful to imagine at all.
He shows all the tricks he learned, then
Says he is about to play the very last one.
Like an insane, he opens every cage.
Birds fly, mammals run, reptiles crawl
Meanwhile, all have become what they are.
Only the man is now left on stage
The crowd is on fire and rage;
They stab, they kick, they bite, they beat
And they curse, die you naked lunatic.
But the man smiles, because
Only he has the pleasure to smile.
