Our Forgotten Hearth

Should the trees all but fall
Who is to blame but us all?
Those splendid days we spent
Under the shade they lent
But what of those days
When they cried a plea
To run from our blade
Who paid them any heed?
We claim to love them
But we all but kill them
The essence that keeps us alive
Oh, how will it survive?
Our Beloved Earth
We claim it to be our Hearth
Our homes within walls
Might be pristine and clean
But the wild land awaits
Dying, unseen.
