Ramblings of a Confused Tree Huger

I woke up this morning 
to hear the sounds 
of trees in mourning
I herd the sounds of saws begin
there cutting down the  trees again

these trees they hurt
are large and old
They grew from dirt
and now there sold

I wonder if they cried
when the saw blades
were applied  
I wonder if they knew
there future's   blues

Im new here, I have not written anything in years. I was going to write a book but it never materialized, I found this site. I thought I would put this stuff on here . When I wrote this stuff there was no internet back then. I call this work Ramblings of a confused tree hugger. Its kind of an epic story of when I lived in the middle of no where by myself. It is my writings poems,haiku's, ballaads rhymes. I m putting some of the ones I like in here so I hope you like ENJOY es
