If you’re ever in a forest and
hear birds and insects suddenly
go quiet, get the hell out of there.
Bad things may be about to happen.
Danger may be approaching,
and your life might be in peril.
You could become a 411 or
never live to see this world again.
Though I’ve read this about the
real or unreal cryptids, and to me
the scene portends some danger,
and were I in a forest and it went
quiet, I’d damn sure feel fear.
At the least, maybe a dangerous
animal like a bear could have
entered the forest and scared
everything in it to silence and fear
because all the living things know
there’s imminent danger there.
And If you ever go into a forest,
based on everything I’ve read
and heard, I’d suggest you
never go into a forest or even
hiking alone and unprotected.
Things that only happen to
others could happen to you.
