A tree so mighty and potent
He holds the ability to protect from pelting rain 
And that of love to shelter from the brewing storm 
Such nobility lies only in the most altruist beings 
A tree, holds the charm of life 
One providing himself for the comfort of nature 
Creating his own world away from slaughter and sin  
His seeds blow out among the land
Introducing life to the barren land
When the gunshots of man approach 
Their machines of destruction prevail
No matter how good the tree lived 
No matter how much life still blazes within him
He is slaughtered to pieces by man's ruthless forces 
As ignorantly as shredding paper 
Now the whole forest he created lies in destruction
Glorious green now ash black
The crackling of smoke now the tweeting of birds 
As I sit back and look at the remains of the tree 
The one which inspired and created nature 
Now sitting in my very printer
I cannot help but ponder
Was it worth it?
