Nature Falls

Tall and thick with green I stand,
Among this beautiful sacred land.
As my loving friends drift away,
I get put on a rusty truck for a day.

Back at my gorgeous home,
Now it looks like nothing has ever grown.
Someone says they're clever,
And puts nails in me, I wonder will this be forever?

It rains hard on me,
I feel like I want to flee.
At my home, all the cute little animals die,
I feel like I want to cry.
So If we stop logging now,
We can all take a big bow.
