Trees (Revised)

Gnawing
Clawing
Up towards the sky
Asking why

They grasp farther and farther
Asking why to the sky

Pain, agony, seeming oh so dear to these trees here

Born to die without sight
Despite their might
They must try!

Try
Try to ask why
Why must they die?
Without ever knowing why
Why are they alive?

The gift of life burning
As time goes by
Destroyed
Abused
Obliterated
All in the name of life!
Why!
Why are they alive to die?
With the ignorance of asking
Why?
Why to the sky
