A Tree

A Tree
~~~~~~
I see a tree; it's a very beautiful thing
A gift to the world of man 
And believe it or not it talks to me
Its leaves are green and some are brown
The body is thick and tall, yet also round
Just like me, you'll see them everywhere
They live their lives it seems without a care
People don't give them a second thought
Yet we need them just the same
Oh well, what's oxygen anyway?
Chop em down, 
Get that dollar bill
It's not a crime just a shame.
