I am the last
I am the only
A field of soot
I am the lonely

I am lost
I am betrayed
The rest were burnt
Yet here I stayed

The birds have left
The animals too
I am the past
The last of the few

I am forgotten
The final Great Tree
But in the end
no one will remember me

There is an area near me where all the trees where cut down but one tree. It was very depressing. I hope people will take something from this poem that will help change the world.
