The lonely tree

Around me I hear the happy joyful chatter
of my leafy friends as they whisper secretively
to each other. Change is coming
Together we see busy ecstatic animals living
throughout our welcoming branches.
Change is coming
Surrounding us sweaty men work to chop and
clear us forever. Change is coming
Beneath my outstretched arms I search for
any of the animals that I had welcomed into
this beautiful forest. Change is coming
Far below a lonely sad figure sits and sobs about
the damage that has been done.
Change has come
