The Trees Here

the trees here are poisoned
the trees here are sick
can't you see them weeping?
there's the blood they cry, so thick

the trees here are poisoned
the trees here once thrived
in this place of luscious wonder
now, they've barely survived

the trees here are poisoned
the trees here will fall
their roots are weak and trembling
but they can await no siren's call

the trees here are poisoned
but the trees here can't die
the role they serve is vital
here, they're holding up the sky
