The small ones with empty minds As we step on your
Everlasting roads beneath
And steal the only thing you give us.
Loren Rae
The only thing that keeps us alive. How dare us
Defy an abundance like yours.
I never noticed how green
I will treat you like royalty
As I drive and pollute you with
Your top line, so far out of my reach
And positively radiant you are Rotting soot.
Die above me so when
You drop onto my bonnet I’ll die along with you.
As you wear your crown so high above Where I don’t deserve to see it,
And you shall blossom without our insignificance And toxic brains, and soul-destroying hands, And rotting hearts, and tell us,
It’s certainly what I deserve
Tell us how beautiful your crown is
You, the beauty,
And being enveloped by your greenness,
Because regardless of when I die, Will continue to wander your
Roots deep beneath my corpse.
Reaching, stretching, and gravitating
Toward something much better than us.
In the sunshine and once we’re gone Keep growing,
Because you’re more worthy than me. You were here first
And you will be here last.
