Hear the Tree For the Forest
Alive -
The Tree speaks
Through it’s bark.
Truth -
Another death
Among a forest
Of regret.
Listen -
Do you hear the chainsaws?
Do you see the bird’s nest?
Can you breath without air?
Think -
It knows the cure
To our diseases.
Our planet’s Lungs.
Dead -
It can’t tell you
As a Table.
