The Day They Fell

The day they fell He stands before the great woods Arms stretched, bracing the storm of machines They roar and bark, trying to break his wall But he stays put, Save the Forests he screams The tress stand tall, lush and green Seedlings sprout, Flowers bloom Animals frolic in their wonderland Is the forest really meeting it's doom? He stands before the great woods Protecting everything it confides Many plants and animals are within Away from the human eye they hide Even if you have never seen them Just take a step inside The feeling of life the smell of grass Do u really want them all to die? The machines don't care Around the forest they continue to surround They have never seen the wind And never heard the sounds They never felt the wind against their faces Never heard the rustling of leaves Never seen the life in the forest Never understood that it brings relief Fire shoots up as the forest screams Roars and crackles follow too Animals run, plants sink to the floor As the machine consumes the forests full The trees spend decades growing up The animals spend years moving in But it only takes seconds to burn it down To burn the forest into the size of a pin What has the forest done he wonders As He stands in front of the orange blaze To deserve this kind of torturous pain With Heat and sorrow right in his face
