Innocent-cut by Construction
I saw through misted mirrors
(my own of tawny green)
The perilous destruction-
of mother nature’s queen…
My tears grasped the terror
(while seeking sanctity)
As innocence drown shallow-
In a grave puddle disease…
So feeble in my helplessness
(the proud attempt to stall)
Yet one by one, I hear the cry-
And watch another sister fall…
The merciful in clouded gates-
~fail to shine tonight~
Not a one was spared this day-
They gave up ghost without a fight…
To walk this fallen land this eve-
(I shiver with the night)
remembering my lost sisters,
Transparent ghosts-
Render no light…
…For fallen trees and victory
unbecoming in this place
May I settle upon barren land
Robbed of natural grace…

Deforestation is a devil in disguise. They do give up the ghost without a fight. Great subject matter.

Awesome, makes me think of one of my nature poems...
"Mother oh Mother"
Mother why do they execute you before sunset?
What crime did you commit to deserve a fate such as this?
Did you fail to provide for your children's needs and greeds
Or keep water from their mouths when their thirst went un-quenched?
Perhaps you forgot to feed their hunger for more and more
Maybe you left your children unprotected from each other
And when they journeyed into unknown lands did you forget them?
Did you not provide them with direction when they were lost?
But for you they would have no sunset to schedule your death
No rains would come to drink or water seeds to feed their greeds
The sun was yours to keep them warm and see your beauty all around
You held up the stars and the moon to guide them through darkness
Still they kill you with sticks broken from trees that you grew
Strung up with weeds to blow the answer in the wind
They melt the frozen waters to drowned the world in human sorrow
And if you're not dead by then they'll stone you when the sun set ends
