Way of life

I turn carbon into oxygen
while more fumes buffer around me
I am angry you see so angry as cars breakdown;
coal burns and I am left there to battle and drown.
I drown in the fumes that are endless
and instantly turn sightless to what was once green and non-scentless.
A year and two goes by
and I am still there tired and bare,
my leaves are brown, and most have died
but I hold on to the little hope I have and bide,
staying there waiting leafless then bare.
Wind and rain battle against me the
fuel fumes feel hard like blocks.
My one last flowering bud drops down
and it seems all hope is lost.
I wake up one day to a blaze of red,
debris and dread.
Hope is gone, trees are dead
till splat waterfalls and fire stops it’s spread.
Fossils fuels are bad for us,
the environment and plus
it’s polluting the world, habitats
and the formats of the world inside them.
The fuels are polluting the ocean and seas
so why can’t we stop with that and use the breeze.
Wind power is great but limited and
while we create more that all seems a waste
so, please help abate.
There are so many problems in nature right now
with deforestation so please disallow
this problem and many others.
If I had a druther I would stop with oil and boiling the fuels,
I am not saying that you should stop now
but please disallow
and contribute just a little
to help the trees
and life within a certain degree.
