Rainforest

As I sit and watch the trees
I see people cutting them down
All I see in their eyes is money
I am sad when I see this
All the animal's food and homes are destroyed
When the flowers bloom again I am excited
When THEY come back I am not
As a swan I try to protect my nest
But people do not care
My sadness takes over and my anger comes alive
I bite them,toppling them over
I feel sorry for them, but happy they are now gone
My children are safe at last
The rainforest is beautiful, but man is not!
