A Burden

Tears fall down my supple cheeks

They fall on the ground, and plant new trees

I’m soon surrounded by plants galore

My tears fall, so trees, there are more

Shall I sob till fossil fuels are destroyed?

Till the green trees are finally enjoyed?

Known for conquering the evil carbon

Something that separates you, what a bargain

Around me grows the gorgeous forest

Am I worthy of this? I must be honest

Humankind always razoring trees

What a terrible crime, that isn’t for me

The trees are the ones truly paying

You just want money, stop praying

You pump toxic carbon into the air

But it's you and your families who’ll be in despair

Must I keep sobbing for all humans?

The burden is on me, we’re no longer a union

Since no one will stop ruining the world,

It's up to me, but you can help
