I quite like this one from last year (originally in Arabic):

At the start of creation, the trees, like all beings, had eyes. There was no blood on the land, except for what was spilled if a predator died of hunger. Then came man. The deluge of blood was more than what the trees could contain and their leaves turned white from terror. “God, blind us! Tear our eyes out!” sobbed the forests. And then came the woodpecker.
