We need the trees!

One by one, the branches drop to the ground
Hopelessly they lay, not daring to make a sound
But the people keep chopping, without any shame
They are the reason there’s not many trees that remain
It needs to come to an end, it’s truly obscene
They’re not only killing the trees, they’re also killing the treasurable creatures in between
In between the leaves, and throughout all the breeze
I really don’t get it, why are they so keen?
They’re killing this precious earth, so vast
How could they have such cold hearts?
It’s too late now, it’s all behind us
I guess all we can do is try, but quickly, and without any fuss
But quicker than the loggers
And faster than the choppers
We have to try and make an effort
To not leave these forests dryer than a desert
I believe we can make a change
But we need to hurry
Before we progress the next stage…
