Its roots lay besieged
The water that once ran deep below
Was redirected to a distant place
Unknown, invisible forces
Work from remote, centralized control rooms
Managing the inner mechanisms of life
Re-engineering nature's architecture
To generate more profit
Through mass automated
Self-maintained industrial tasks
Seeds rot, heart dries up
The blood flow slows down
An artificial existence
That was never meant to be
Conquered, vanquished
Organic beings disappear
Replaced by altered organisms
Improved & re-engineered
Through global ETL factories
The old, tired grey tree of life
Has been defeated
Beauty's last breath
Mankind's triumph
Purity's destruction
