i've seen kids breaking limbs off of trees                                                     and hitting the trees with their own branches                                                  and it seems they don't know the trees                                                          are alive, and by simply living they clean the air they breathe.              across the street the fundation is killing the trees                                     to plant their buildings.                                                                                              i've seen clearcut mountains and heard                                                         the animals of the forest crying on stumps.                                                    i just wish the teachers would teach respect                                              and we could save the trees.
