Morning Commute

Forests that spent
hundreds of years flourishing
are flattened in a single day

Construction sounds
that keep me up at night
from the new fracking site

I can't bear to crest another hill
and see a desolate dirt pile where 
there was once a green sea of leaves

Cranes have pushed out the animals
that once inhabited the dense forest
barren landscapes replace all life

Human destruction is so much faster
than mother nature's graceful hands
exponential progression toward the end
