Taking Down Trees

Between two houses on my street,

There is a plot of land 

Where many trees have towered,

Just as Nature must have planned.


But ribbons tied around the trunks 

Appeared out of the blue 

And now today, what showed up 

Was an excavating crew.


The chain saws bit into the bark

With their annoying sound,

Then a backhoe pushed and boom!

The trees went crashing to the ground.


How sad to see these trees destroyed;

It can’t be helped, albeit

When land was cleared to build my house,

I’m glad I didn’t see it.
