Life or Death, Your Choice
I am a bird.
I am a tree.
I am uncatchable.
I could get caught and
cut down at any given
moment.
I feel unstoppable as
my wings flap through the
bright blue, cloud-filled
sky.
I am rooted into the
earth as the wind hits
my leaves and branches
bringing a nice calm
breeze.
You shoot me just
because you think
you can, and i'm not
so uncatchable now;
but did you know that
I have a family?
You cut me down and use
me for firewood, but did
you know that you're just
giving the earth less
oxygen?
my babies have
no one now.
Now you have no shade and
your planet is dying.
I am the last bird
on this planet.
I am the last tree on this
planet.
kill me, and there
won't be any birds
left.
Kill me, and you'll die
along with your planet.
