With Every Breath

With every breath we take,
with every inch we travel,
our planet becomes
sicker. 
If our planet is so hurt,
how is everything still here,
how are we still here?
We are still here,
because of the trees.
These trees,
the ones that 
make life on Earth
possible,
are the most important 
things on our planet.
Not bees,
not flowers,
not us,
but trees.
They swallow our breath,
they consume the Co2 that leaves our lips,
and they produce what we need to survive,
what everyone,
everything,
needs to survive.
The oxygen,
the air we breathe.
Without trees,
these life-saving trees,
the chain would break. 
It would simply shatter,
leaving us with nothing.
Trees are our flowers.
They produce the pollen,
and we,
the bees,
the insects,
we use the pollen to carry out 
jobs,
things that must get done 
in order for our planet,
our people,
our animals,
to survive,
to live. 
We must protect them,
throughout the rest of our lives,
or we'll lose them,
and our planet won't
receive the cure, 
the medicine,
the help,
that it truly needs.
