I was once a great tree
My circumference wide
My branches long
I reached to the heavens
I yearned for water
and drank heartily
And the sun,
the sun greeted me daily

There were days
Us trees
We would lounge about
Being trees
After a time; however,
I saw so many leave
So quickly
Cut down at such ripe ages

The teeth
The teeth
The teeth they gnashed
They tore into the flesh
To the bark
I was a tree
And there were many with me
But slowly, we disappeared

The teeth
You brought
The teeth
They gnashed
You held nothing back
And ripped apart my flesh
Just like the many before me
