Human Folly
Forests are felled
There once dwelled life -
Now quelled by greed.
Pulp to paper -
The razor tears
Through curtained flesh
Let’s laud our wit -
Bark - on it.. We
have writ ‘Save trees’!

Internal rhyme
'Dwelled' is one form of the past tense for 'dwell'. 'Dwelt' is used more commonly, but I used the first version to fit the rhyme.
