The Forest

The trees look like waves all in a big line.
The bugs creep and crawl all day and all night.
As I walk in through the haze, I feel blind.
When I come past, I keep the bugs at bay.
All of the bushes next to all of the trees,
There’s a great lake out there for all of the fish
Providing a home for the birds and bees
With a big colourful reef, that’s my wish
The animals run through the thick dark forest
When nightfall comes, the wind grows heavier
Then soon, you hear the birds nightly chorus
When trucks come through, humans grow wealthier
As the trees get lopped, the birds lose their nests
Then they notice, it wasn’t for the best.
