Before Us

The wind rustled the leaves in the trees                                 

Forrests were where you could relax

Animals could play and rest without the thought of destroyed habitat

Yes, once it was safe.

Butterflies flew and birds sang as a choir                                                            

Toads slept on lilly pads without fear                                                            

No one had to worry                                                                                                                      

This was before's galore.

Leaves drifted down to the canopy's floor                                                                                          

Animals wandered around freely                                                                                

Frogs hopped from tree to tree                                                                                              

It was a perfect time of life until...

All of a sudden, thumps came from up ahead                                                                                  

An earsplitting sound echoed through the trees                                                        

Stampeding animals ran in fear.                                                                                                

Was it safe anymore?

Trees screamed as they fell to the ground                                                          

Twigs snapped and leaves rushed to the forest floor

                                  Everyone fled running through the wreckage                                                    

Could this place still be called a forest?
