Voices unheard

>This song is about how nature speaks to us, pleading for freedom, but we seem to not hear or understand their sorrowful song, and they are trying to tell us (not literally) that if we destroy them then we are destroying our ecosystem which our race depends on. One way they are telling us is the decrease in a bee species, global warming and other smaller things that will have a big impact on the human race and every other animal that lives with us. There are enviornmentalists though, just not enough to make everybody care. And so i sing it for them<

As I drop my green leaves on the ground
they swallow human air with no sound
We leave it up to you to listen
to our babys screams and cries
yet you deny
our glisten...

So the willows sweep the ground
with every pesticide you pound
Despite our peace, mighty and narrow
You angerly step your boot
then you shoot
painful arrows...

With every wood chip we remain
in some human hearts with no pain
Why dont you spread our love we plea
like we spread your wind with our wings
Because once we fall from our heaven
It will be the doom of us and then
Every man will suffer
from our voices unheard...

    An enjoyable piece of poetry, a good mixture of light and dark here within the folds of nature, a good poem.

    this is an absolutly amazing poem, i know exactly what your trying to potray here, like, animals and nature and stuff can't talk, but need our help the most, and its up to the select few who speak up for them.
    like, meat, gross. i mean, factory farming is one of the top contributors to global warming, even more so that all the cars in the world combined, and the animals are often treated absolutly horrible. only few ppl care to listen to silent pleads for help, others turn their heads the other way and pretend its not there, like its not heppening.
    this is an absolutly amazing poem tat describes my frustratin exactly.
    absolutly amazing!

    humanity is very destructive to mother nature and to each other, we can see the pain we cause to the earth, but we continue to destroy it. so what hope can we have for each other to stop destroying and start creating. great awareness in this poem, an excellent write God bless
