Silent Witness
Still I am confused,
bewildered, perplexed.
How could a species so intelligent
do that to their own?
I’ve seen this happen
time and again.
Each time I wept.
Not for food.
These upright beings.
But for power, control, greed.
I’ve seen this happen
time and again.
Each time I wept.
It will happen no more.
They are gone.
I’ve seen this happen
time and again.
Each time I wept.
The forests. The animals.
All gone.
I’ve seen this happen
time and again.
Each time I wept.
I am the last tree standing.
– Shelley Lowell
