Green Lives

In the forest beneath the leaves, green lives are lost. If you listen carefully, you can hear screams of pain as trees are cut and killed. Green lives are lost.

A few years past and a new threat rises, pollution. Plastic drifts through the air and chokes the trees. Green lives are lost. More and more forests are cut to make paper and houses and yet, none look at their walls and feel ashamed. Green lives are lost.

Slowly, luscious green forests are turned into graveyards as the wind whistles a sad song. Many living things make home in the trees, so they die along with it. Green lives are lost.

Some humans don't understand the importance of trees, but I still harbour hope. Some green lives can be saved.
