Prometheus Felled

You may have not been one of the majestic giants
But you were one of the oldest
From a bygone era
A witness to this ever changing world
Silenced

Oh how the centuries must have passed
And you were there to see it all
The stories you could have told
The last of your kind
You and your brethren
What have we done?

From the dawn of man
Evolved revolved unsolved
You lived through the eras
Floods and wars
And still you remained

But it was our own curiosity
That brought your demise
Why?
Because we are a species
Starving for knowledge
Even if it means killing your kind
Our minds cannot comprehend
Or let alone understand
What it means
To live a long life in peace
So we look to you
Your kind
The trees
