My Invisible Tears
By Poppy S
Caged like a bird stuck, to the the dirt like glue
As he walks towards me I don’t know what to do!
Sharp! Sharp! Sharp!
Human please stop I beg you,
It hurts! It hurts!
If only you knew.
My bronze branches reach out to them,
My ancestors, my children, my family, my friends.
My leaves grow yellow, still in fear,
If only you could hear my crying and see my tears.
What did I ever do to you?
If I did this you would surely think I was cruel.
I’m falling over, losing vision.
Do you want to hurt these poor trees?
It's your decision.
