Can't See The Forest

by David Knape

Grandfather woods
how long you've stood,
before too long
you'll be gone for good

Trees bulldozed down
for neighborhoods,
cut to the ground
now black with mud

Such beauty's lost
on such as these,
they see no good
in old growth trees

They pretty much
do as they please,
can't see the forest
for the trees.
