Life here was marvellous
but we are slaughtering the world
watch the forests burn
"Ella, the youngest daughter of SityPhoxx, has been studying poetry in her English class in High School. For an assignment, she had to write 5 poems in different forms. One of them was a Haiku. She knew of the Haiku musical challenge as she often comes up with titles for the music that SityPhoxx writes. She asked if the group would be interested in reading her first Haiku. The topic is very close to her heart."
