My Forest

The trees are screaming
The deathbed in the sawmill
Thousands of times they chop
The devastated land is ill.
They grind our family through machines
To shred our skin and make us bleed
Our ashes fly around
Warning all around of dangers far yet near
All our friends run and scream
Escaping the metal beast
Their homes destroyed and nowhere to run,
They’re cornered.
The trees are screaming.
