Human Greed
May 26, 2024
The tree roots continue to grow,
Watching the seasons go.
Providing us with life and care,
Yet some things still aren’t right.
Fire spreads leaving marks of rage,
And trees become a page.
The birds that once sang happy songs,
Now sit alone quiet.
Humans poison the air and land,
Yet earth gives open hands.
We ask for more than what's needed,
Knowing the end result.
How nature creates life with ease,
Providing us with needs.
Yet man destroys nature far worse,
Then nature can itself.
