For the Love of the Trees
Look at what they bear, the
 bare
 trees that bare their needs;
 stare at their seeds and see
 what they have grown to be:
 forgotten.
 Fruits now rotten and their bark is still
 rotting - the rainclouds 
 are now spotting from high
 thereby blotting out the sky.
 Branches try to rightfully write
 with the ink of sunlight 
 yet to their own fright they write
 on the might of our disgusting blight.
 And now the tree can no longer see
 the morning dove that shone so bright.
 In that sense we are the rainclouds that shroud in multiple crowds.
 PEACE IS A SOFT WHISPER
 yet we are screaming too loud.
 Even more,
 we are screaming not for a peace score,
 yet at the ugly eye sore – 
 and so we bore through the core,
 until we call that too a chore: "what a bore!"
 Ask ourselves what for?
 Ask ourselves to explore when the bare tree
 was once a thing to adore before:
 when we were humane animals.
 Now we are like cannibals
 screaming timber
 until
 the
 tree
 falls: 
 destroying trees is indeed a form of cannibalism –
 rerouting the food chain into a new prism 
 - we caged ourselves in our own prison
 in the process thereof. Now the 
 bare
 tree can no longer see 
 the white resplendent dove; 
 so the bare tree bares its only need of 
 love.
