Fern Forest

Towering eucalyptus loom over a beautiful lush forest filled with exquisite fern trees.    
A well-worn track snakes through the entrancing scenery.
The intrusive sound of heavy machinery in the distance.

The path winds through a peaceful green fern gully.    
Tree ferns shade walkers along a muddy trail.
Soles inviting unwelcome visitors.
A creek trickles alongside,
Full of chemicals and strange liquids.

Logs painted by green damp moss,
Deadly orange fungi silently slaying timeworn timbers.
The path meanders over logs and past young fresh saplings.    
Planted in hopes of postponing a deadly future.

Lethal hooves and horns brought by age-old visitors.    
Ruthlessly destroying ancient growth.
Chomping the forest with their merciless hoofs and horns.    
Crash! Crack! Boom!
Trees felled by barbarous engines,    
Endlessly pumping deadly black fumes.

The forest is dying.
We must unite to revive it.
