Once There Were Trees

Listen to poem:
Our beautiful green trees Covered huge swathes of land Ancient mighty oaks were felled Oblivious to the future We broke the woodland's heart. The greenwoods are compromised Tree's realise their in trouble Dangerous time's looming Our forest friends are weary Sap runs cold and leaves tremble. Our hearts are also broken Now we reap cost of indifference Hundreds of years wiped out Sawmill's disdain for the ongoing Appalling devastation.
