Revenge of the Leaves

Revenge of the Leaves They all came together in one place Each with each and all with all They said their piece From early Spring to almost Fall They listened intent to understand What was to become of the rest of Man After assimilation's of the great debate A conclusion was decided on their fate After man had raked, pillaged & burned their kin Destroying memories of those within The great leaves of trees would finally take revenge 'Let US no longer give air for them to breathe No longer the beauty of our Majesty Never again provide shade from the Sun Let them burn, as our Fathers had been done From that day forward till the end Trees and leaves held their breath Until all the ‘Rakers had died The most boring of deaths ... and for any that may come long after That sound you hear of breeze in the trees Is the leaves in their laughter.
