Valley of Trees Caleb's In the Woods Contest
I looked everywhere to find some woods
I asked a friend to show me if he could
There once was a time there were trees all around
Although we kept looking there were none to be found
I've seen pictures of forests that used to cover the earth
Sadly they all vanished long before the day of my birth
Way back in the past I'm told the world was pristine
Trees, forests and animals, lakes that would gleam
They just watched, the warnings they didn't heed
The planet decimated, people just watched it bleed
So off to a museum called the valley of the trees
Artificial replicas, real ones destroyed by our disease
I'm forced to travel to the woods in my mind
Although I've searched long and hard, only pretend can I find
