A brief poem about how humans can effect the environment.
Oh, willow
With thy branches spread
Why dost thou tilt
Thy lovely head?

Does the wind blow
such you cannot bear it?
Perhaps the sun
Spoils your merit?

No, cries the willow
I cannot breathe
As long as the elements
With toxins seethe

The air, the ground,
The water outside
All choked the willow
So, she died
