Wood Wide Web

Entwined beneath our feet
Is a world so discrete

A society laughing and crying
Families living and dying

Sharing all that sustains,
Life coursing through their veins 

Touching, feeling and connecting 
Existing, surviving and protecting 

They feel when neighbors are hurt
The air for them is the dirt

They're roots hold the secrets of creation
Overlooked by the greed of our nations
