If Trees Could Talk
I wonder what the trees would say, if they could talk.
I think that they would be sad. They would be angry. They would be disappointed, but somehow compassionate. The trees would be forgiving, which is surely saddest of all.
Trees have to watch while we cut down their friends. We do not stand tall, not like trees, but we stand strong. We stomp our feet and demand attention. Humans, merciless monsters, plow down such beautiful things, and all for what? A little more elbow room?
Surely, they weep. Perhaps that is what happens in autumn. Perhaps when the trees shed their leaves, they are weeping for all they have lost, all they have been unjustly robbed of. And we just watch them wail. We watch them mourn and we think that it’s beautiful.
People are destroyers at heart. We riot through life with torches and pitchforks in our hands, leaving bones and fire and rotting flesh in our wake.
