A forest of cash

Tall, majestic figures

Watching over us, every move

Every wrong, every right

They listen, they watch

They are the ancestors of nature

Comforting like the warmth of a grandparent

Whispering with the wind 

A forest of love

But with every day a lesser mother and father of our country

The loss of a lifelong friend

All for what

For a book with stories that can not compare 

to the stories of life

Traded for something so simple

They say it's just one tree

They say what harm can it do

But it is never one tree

They are money too them

Not living creatures but a profit

A check
