Deforestation

Once multiple forests,

Now nothing.

In the past, once beautiful,

Now gone.

Vines grabbing people.

Leaves like city cans

Crunching on poor earth.

Slowly dying.

A gum tree was left.

A seed fell

Before the gum tree fell.

Did someone find it? … or not? 

Surprisingly it landed on a dumpster lid

One person, like a beast 

Found it calling to him

The seed like a nutshell

Placed on a pile of soil 

Feeling like it was ready to sprout

Mother Nature reincarnated.
