My Wonderland

Tree canopy
Thick and green
Full of singing birds
And chattering monkeys.

Thick underbrush
Rustles at a touch
Be careful what you eat
It could be deadly.

Rushing rivers flow
Thousands of plants grow
Animals right where you can’t see
A wonderland to me.

A distant whirring sound
A tree drops to the ground
Where I once heard monkey’s chatter
Now I hear machine’s clatter

Chop Chop Chopping
More illegal logging
Don’t they understand
This is my wonderland?
