The eye was in the tree
Watching brothers bicker
It’d seen the birds fly by
Had counted them,
Knew of the fraud
The eye was in the tree
Watching closely at rage
That killed one
Crowning the other king
Of a demented city.
The eye was in the tree
Watching relentlessly
That eye we know
Squinting over our deeds:
History.
