Ashes of our hearts

The flaking crisp of bark raining the air
Shimmering leaves burned to ashes
The air is hot then cold
Give us life
Mother give us food
Give us the ability to breathe
And the deep blue sky
Blossoming the ground
The sprouting vines with no roots to grow
The luster of our trees burned to the crisp
All for money
But nothing to grow
Do you have a heart?
But hearts of one
How will we live?
How will I live?
