Twisted tree trunks lay On the black ashen soils, Burnt to the ground As the arid air boils. The tiny creatures Scurry far away Abandoning their homes For a new place to stay. Entering the land Which humans populate. Entering streets They thought were desolate. Instead polluting machines Roll across the earth, Scaring plants to Wilt to the hearth. Grey puffy tails Searching for nuts. Forced to learn What roads not to trust. Little wild rabbits Dig a hole in the ground, To be soon blockaded By a filthy garbage mound. The birds flutter From the burning tree tops Only to be choked By the brightly lit shops Human’s running around Not caring what goes where. Driving large cars and polluting the air. All causing our ozone layer to tare. Smog filled air, And trash filled land. Leading to a filthy death Shouldn’t these actions be band?

As the Trees Burn
Twisted tree trunks lay On the black ashen soils, Burnt to the ground As the arid air boils. The tiny creatures Scurry far away Abandoning their homes For a new place to stay. Entering the land Which humans populate. Entering streets They thought were desolate. Instead polluting machines Roll across the earth, Scaring plants to Wilt to the hearth. Grey puffy tails Searching for nuts. Forced to learn What roads not to trust. Little wild rabbits Dig a hole in the ground, To be soon blockaded By a filthy garbage mound. The birds flutter From the burning tree tops Only to be choked By the brightly lit shops Human’s running around Not caring what goes where. Driving large cars and polluting the air. All causing our ozone layer to tare. Smog filled air, And trash filled land. Leading to a filthy death Shouldn’t these actions be band?
