Dying Forest

Crystal-clear water splashing in the forest
Fish swimming happily downstream
Birds chirping up in the trees
Sounding like happy melodies
But now the fish are not swimming happily
The birds are not chirping in tall trees
For there are no more trees to live in
The crystal-clear water has been turned to brown sludge
The nearly-dead trees have spoken to me
As a child, you humans killed my mother
And now you are doing the same thing to other trees
What happened to this forest
Will happen to the rest of the world
Unless…
You humans take a stand and fight for nature
To fix your mistakes and become a part of nature again
Then maybe, just maybe,
We can save our dying world
