Ghost Forest

As pollution thickened,

the air grew warmer; 

As the air grew warmer,

the glaciers melted; 

As the glaciers melted,

the oceans rose;

As the oceans rose,

the woodlands were flooded;

As the woodlands were flooded,

the trees perished.

As pollution weakens,

the air grows cooler;

As the air grows cooler,

the glaciers renew;

As the glaciers renew,

the oceans sink;

As the oceans sink,

the marshes are drained;

As the marshes are drained,

the trees may grow again.

Neither good nor evil

can conquer for ever.
