A Death Not Cared For
March 21, 2013
The tree grew tall
And the tree grew fair,
A home for all
Yes, a tree very rare
And it grew and grew
For generations abound,
Yet no one knew,
The death-making sound
The sound of the engine,
The sound of the roar,
Cutting of it inland,
The life that it tore
Now, the scream of the tree,
Not one of them heard
Nor did they the plea,
Of the passing humming bird
So the tree collapsed with silent yell,
Like the slam of the winter door,
And any one person could tell
That this was a death not cared for
