___________________________________________

The glass house was broken

Just another token

Of those who had not spoken

And though the trees

And the bees

Once buzzed in the wind

Their beautiful shapes

To the floor were pinned

The pots were broken

To simple shards

The pieces of them

Spread for yards

The grass of the land

Crunched under the hand

Of those who did not care

And even if

it was fair

The land took more damage

than its share

Water contaminated

with the red goo

Cut up hand

In front of you

Bricks were fallen

cement no longer paved

This garden

Cannot be saved

For these were dead flowers

For water they craved

The wind no longer waved
