A Slaughter Of Trees

The trees come crashing down

The animals scramble hurriedly

The workers stab the knife into the body

And the trees come crashing down

The buildings rise and rise

While the trees are pushed back

The humans kill and murder

And slowly the trees fall, one by one

The humans keep the slaughter

Until finally there is only one left

This tree watches and waits

As one by one its brother falls down

It stands throughout the cold and chilly rains

And stands through the ruthless drought

It continues its watch, day and night

Until its watch has ended

This cycle continues throughout

But this time was different

But this time they will remember

They will remember
