------The Last Druid------


The last of the old Druid oaks
so tall, so stately, so proud
Now stood all alone among the tall buildings
The last of the old forest crowd

It once was considered just one oak of many
the tree population immense
Now we'll never see a new generation
who cares of extinction's expense

We must care for the earth, she takes care of us 
We must be our planets keeper
If our actions persist, all take and no give
We'll find we're our own "Grim Reaper"
