Tree Perspective

Thank you mankind, 
for leaving this clump of trees,
for us Nature lovers.
A crowd of deciduous samplings,
motionless like prisoners,
in a desert of bulldozer ruts.

If I squint my vision,
I should be thankful that the clump of trees
is positioned to catch the Autumn sun
 - at just the right angle.
It's all how you view trees.

So sad they're young and orphaned
With no desire to shed their leaves.
