The Stand

Their green canopy spread wide
Looking very majestic and tall

Upright they stood for decades
Giving shelter and fruit to all

To be chopped down ruthlessly
Into pieces of firewood, small

Where once glorious trees flourished
Now stands an ugly concrete mall

If this is what is called development
I don't want anything to do with it at all
