Trees

The trees talk in hushed tones and sing songs of sadness,

back when there was green all around and we were treated with kindness.

When all the trees thrived well and the air was clean,

there was no pollution, car or building to be seen.

Using loud voices to scream and yell.

Now the trees have a tragic story to tell.

“They came with their weapons and forgot their pity,

to the animals we were home, but to them, we were room for a city.

The humans didn't care, as long as they were getting those green leaves

but had no care for ours because they had minds like sieves.

They were robots and did what they were told, and didn’t stop to think. Why are we being controlled?

But if that thought did come to mind they didn’t say anything and did as they were told.”

But in the end, they all regret it because we provide them with clean air and fruit for you.

Yes, sadly they killed us but their minds are reset and new.

This is a song of sadness and a time of despair,

but the ‘new’ humans have come and are fixing the tear. 

So thank you ‘new’ humans for protecting us

and you’ve planted new trees, so that is a plus.
