Leave It Alone
Its beauty took millions of years
Every leaf and every drop of water
Placed in its perfect spot year after year
Even with its history, the beauty is fragile
It would not take much to destroy
Just one man with too much money
Wanting to make his mark on the world
Houses or large office buildings
Anything that would have his name
The rest of us must do something to stop him
Beauty like that scene must be saved
Treasured for what they are
Not for what they can be
