A Fragile World

Where birds sing joyfully,
And a forest is free.
In a place untouched.
That's where you'll find harmony.
Where trees grow tall,
And all life thrives.
Where rivers flow as glass,
You’ll finally feel alive
But when the axe fells a tree,
And the riverbed’s dry,
All animals flee.
That’s what it feels like to die.
