Army Of Aggressive Trees

With small hands delicate as flower petals
Janus rips global web of asphalt roads
out of the ground while chanting pretty spells,
and hurls chunks of revolutionary rage
to smash stores of commercial enterprise
that impose colonial empire of greed.

Roots of oak trees curl downward from his feet
to mangle cement parking lots of malls
with each passive-aggressive step of faith
that Janus asserts on quest for the Grail
when he struts on stage of fashion with pride,
presenting latest outfit no god wears.

Descended from the Entish Onodrim,
and cousin of Groot, born on Planet Ex,
Janus leads army of aggressive trees
who march to war against the human race,
demolishing vast city maze of streets
as they crush buildings with Odinian fists.

Surrounding Gold Tower of steel and glass
that shimmers brightly on Manhattan Isle,
Janus and army of fierce angry trees
attack tall palace where King Midas hides
in revenge for massacre of the trees
in the cruel ten-thousand-year dentrocide.

Rampaging forward sea to shining sea,
Janus and army of trees with strong limbs
topple thousands of corporate headquarters,
smashing factories where sons of Vulcanus
smelt minerals with fire to mold weird machines,
and stomp on billions of cars as they flee.

When Midas sends army of warriors
with tanks and planes to bomb army of trees,
Janus laughs with booming voice of the void
as he opens gaping mouth of sharp teeth
and swallows missiles with satisfied gulp,
strengthened by explosions of chemicals.

After Janus and his army of trees
destroy all of human civilization,
and leaves devastating mess in his path
of buildings and cars mangled by outrage,
he sits on snowy slope of Mount Takoma
to meditate and seek state of Nirvana.

Computer wires from the vast world wide web
slither from heart of darkness to enwrap
Janus and his army of trees in matrix
of writhing cables which assimilate
their rage into virtual world of Earth Mind
where he dances and sings by Lake of Eyes.

Orpheus plays lyre of Mercury that wakes Janus and trees from timeless slumber who grow outraged at dentrocide of human enterprise.
