Final Falling Leaves Conference

The United Nation of Trees held their annual Falling Leaves Conference. I was invited as a silent witness and a loudly investigating reporter, recorder of curious water-bearing and leaking history. Our sacred water is now bought and sold in mostly plastic bottles manufactured by oil-fueled degenerators. Our roots are robbed of shrinking water tables, underground rivers plundered and fracked in vain genocide against future EarthLife. Our fading and shriveling leaves, severed trunks, raped forests, cannot keep up with clean-air projections for future EarthTribe health care. Therefore, Be it resolved This United Integrity of Trees shed our last leaves to heal our soul, longing for future healthy soil regenerations. And so it was, this united ballad of Trees hosted our final Falling Leaves Conference for a thirsty while, hoping future AnthroSapiens might learn to hear this deadly fallen silence.
