LAMENT OF A TREE
All weak, alone and depressed I stand,
No one will ever understand
What through life, I have had to face,
As the world ate up all the space,
It always had for me!
And now you can all see
How I am lifeless, and shut down
Due to the greedy seeds sown,
Of development and growth,
Ravishing the planet earth
Polluting the air
Oh what despair!
Just to live in glamor and style
Reducing me to a garbage pile!

Wrote this a while ago - looking at the amount of destruction of forests and vegetation around the world.
