deforestation
flames lick the trees
as they scream for help
they are so young,
their stems still green.
what will you do
when they notice you
among the ash and dust?
what will you do
when they see you
with a lighter in your hand?
you, their ally.
you, their friend.
you, their family.
will you tell them
that the pay check
was just too perfect
to pass up?
i hope you do,
they deserve
to know the reason.
i hope you know
that they were
still so young.
their stems still green.
and they are screaming,
screaming at you,
was it worth it?
