Leaf

I am just a lonely leaf
Carried by the wind
I have seen my planet evolve
While I travel around the globe
I’ve passed blooming flowers
And families of deer
I have discovered thousands of buzzing bees
And animals scurrying away from the rain
But soon enough I come to a stop
A large brick wall blocks the breeze
I lie on the floor
Having flown no more
The forests are going extinct
Chemical reactions run through the forest
Poisoning everything in sight
Pollution kills us
No more wildlife
Luckily, I did not see the damage
But I will not see forests altogether
The humans have destroyed our forests
