How we miss those lovely, verdant scenes
of woodlands that framed our riversides;
rich, with hearty trees and creature life...
callously mowed down, destroyed
in name of progress and development...
deforestation...acres of lush trees,
and their creatures also now long gone;
territory lost by human cause.
They left; now stray into our yards,
exiled, hungry, have nowhere to go.
Once they roamed in nature's paradise,
now destroyed and cleared
for building mega-mansions on the shore.
Wealth...with loss of nature's gifts;
no mind, the killing of the trees...
sending animals to roam our streets.
Where do we find solutions?
What can we do to save earth's loss?
Protect our creatures' lives?
As long as money rules...there are none.
