We are killing the trees

There were lakhs of us here
Looking at each other
Growing,deeper and taller
Shadier,
Sheltering lives,nests with little ones
The breeze through the leaves
Humming a melody
Holding life together
The clouds stopped to drain
The ground received bountifully
Holding firm the earth .
Sunlight filtered through small holes
Now there are only holes left
Big gaping holes
No breeze sings a melody now
The earth gives way
The sun batters
The nests are going away
Searching for their lost homes.
