Trees emerging from the uncultivated land
Growing in fear of being cut down
going in fear of the law.
Tall, strong, with a smell of relaxation
to free me into my own world
Given by mother nature,
for us, as people, as human beings
only to cut them down and turn
them into something that can
hurt us
or is it something that can
help us?
Unbelievable wonders to see them
stand tall
Greener than the grass that tries to
Overpower it.
