Description of Theme

You are human; from the deepest depths of the ocean to outer space, everywhere lies your unchecked dominance. Everywhere on Earth, you have established your reign. You claim to be civilized! Is breaking down our dwellings, burning us alive by setting fire to home after home, and plundering everything we have earned a sign of civilization? You indulge in luxury solely by inflicting cruelty upon us, but no more. Your aggression has snatched away our forest; the days of sitting and dreaming in the green dimness of our wild homes are over. Our lives are being spent like caged convicts in your captivity. Therefore, we, the creatures of the wild, have sought refuge in the Goddess today; She is arriving to subdue the wicked and protect the righteous.
