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.
