murder

today i witnessed murder.
five against one
they huddled around their victim
their axes glinting in the morning sun
the radio playing a happy tune
as if this happened everyday
they chit chatted lightly
as their axes hacked away
such a cruel and heartless act
i had to avert my eyes
i turned my gaze to the heavens
silently asking why.
when you kill a man its murder
but when you kill a tree
i still call it murder
but others disagree
