2009-The Trees by Ron Beery
The trees
I sat in the woods
on a cool summers day
And opened my mind
to what the trees
Had to say
They are pissed
Standing people
Steel and concrete
everywhere I look
The only green is paint
Where are the standing people
with the leaves and branches
that give shade
Are there tribes gone
Not yet but soon there
fires will not burn
what will we do when
their tribes are gone
fill the land with plastic
I hope not
No plastic tree will bear the
fruit of knowledge
