they came to say hello...moving on 3

rested in dead young tree,

surrounded by young native plants,

that contain no food,

no hollow logs,

to nest within,

needing old growth forests,

not much of them remain,

removed,

stripped away,

first phase,

for buildings and homes,

railway sleepers and bridges,

shipped to England,

paving their streets,

back then,

now stripped away,

turned into wood chips,

sent to Asia,

only to return,

as cardboard packaging,

containing trinkets,

and plastic toys.

 

surviving on the edge of extinction

on mature,

imported planted pines,

now being killed,

ripped down,

due to a boring bug,

accidently introduced,

in imported,

timber forest packaging,

imported surrounding,

even more trinkets and toys,

to fill,

super over sized houses,

in super over sized cities,

urban sprawl,

decimating hundreds,

unique plants and animals,

homes and food supplies,

found nowhere else in the world.

 

fly safely my dear friends,

my heart and soul cry for your plight,

which reflects humanities own destination,

if they do not,

heed your calling to,

turn off the path,

fueled by greed and fear.
