The Gumtree Forest

Deep within the heart of the forest,
The gum leaves are crystals.
While the kookaburras chirp and the frogs croak,
The gumtrees lead the way.
They are often overlooked,
Always being so numerous.
But something else is overlooked,
Something much more murderous.
Year after year,
Savage fires take many lives.
But somehow,
The gumtrees continue to thrive.
Deep within the heart of the forest,
The gum leaves are crystals under the moonlight.
As the dingos howl and the wombats hiss,
The gumtrees lead the way.
