Save Us, Please

I watch a tree fall,
I see it topple downward...
"Oh my God," I call.

The land is clear cut,
the animals cannot hide...
protest for their side.

Money is their king,
gold, silver, and diamond rings...
ruthless land strippers.

We must save the trees,
I beg and plead for help, please!...
Together - a breeze.

Habitat destruction is causing many animals (as well as plants) to become endangered. I hear them crying for help as I watch the developers strip away the woodlands. Wish we could do more to help them, George. This poem touches my heart deeply. A favorite for me -- wish I'd written it myself. Best wishes in Carol's contest! Love, Carolyn
