TREES: LIFELINE FOR OUR PLANET
1st Place, Golden Birch Award
We steal Her land, exploit Her wealth
And claim it as our own.
We build cities, we sever trees,
Destroying our own home.
We do nothing to rebuild
The ruin we create.
We do nothing but watch
As She cries, She burns, and breaks.
We lie to faces, wipe out races,
Deny these lies and genocide.
The truth cannot be silenced.
We divide, we war, we side.
Ourselves will be the death of us,
Burned in a fire we made.
There will not be a second Ark.
This time we can’t be saved.
Not one creature will mourn us
Not one tree, ant, or swan.
They’ll find freedom and happiness
In a world with humans gone.
We thought we were the kings
But oh, we were such fools.
It was never our kingdom.
The Queen of Nature rules.
