Light From the sky.
A plant,
Reaching out.
From a seed,
To a sapling,
Growing up, Into the sky.
Now a tree,
Towering up,
There to admire,
So beautiful-
But then, the forest falls,
The sound of machines,
The tree dies,
Sliced apart,
Tore apart,
Uprooted,
Killed- Is this,
What we wanted,
This is our planet,
Our soil,
Our seed-
But we kill it,
Smash it down,
Rip it apart,
Burn it down,
News stations,
Call it a mistake,
But we knew-
We knew-
Destruction Cities,
Of metal,
Skyscrapers,
In Singapore,
There were trees,
In 1890, Thriving, Amazing,
The green giants,
Spreading, Mother Earth,
Holding them,
Lush bushes, plants, animals-
An air that smells like flowers,
A small brook in the meadow...
But a year later,
The bulldozers came,
Trees, Slashed down,
Built-in metal-
This happens, Everywhere,
We need to fix this, Everywhere,
We can do it,
We can do it,
Just- Believe
