Everywhere
pavement
paints over the natural
the green and good
pavement poured into
parking lots
freeways
malls
roads upon roads
we crisscross
our land with pavement
millions of miles
and wonder why
we have floods
and global warming
there is no place
for rain to go
the sun radiates its anger
sizzles on pavement
rain and shine
are orphans without a home
no place to settle in
to bless this blemished earth
one day
we will look like Mars or Moon
and wonder where
all the trees went.

See the trees
while you can still see 'em
the last one left
now in a Museum!

More like Easter Island, with an explanation and plenty of dumb reasons. ?
Deforestation still threatens more life than any mass murderer or terrorist, and people will never come to terms with this. By the time they do - yes, Earth will already resemble Mars. Or just the pothole in the street.

The one that's museumed
Before your eyes
We're sorry folks
Is fossilised
It just dried up
Gave up the ghost
Now pavement rules
Coast to coast ?
Nice lines here dk. Good poem
