This is for a contest at my library. The rules are to write a poem with the idea of go green. I honestly don't know if this sucks or not, so please tell me. Is it too dark or sad? 



REVISED VERSION.



Never before

Have I been alone.

I look out at the empty wasteland,

Where my brethren once stood,

Where the animals once roamed.

Where now the flowing wind

Whips with her merciless torrent 

She is angry 

Without the lush canopy

To play in.



I’d like to say this was the cemetery

Of my brothers.

But alas,

They have been kidnapped.

I cry my silent cry for them.

My brethren who watched over me

Since I was a seedling.

Protecting me

As I grew.

We watched the centuries go by,

Time dancing around our aging trunks,

Building us stronger

As it passed.



But now all has gone.

They are but a memory.

Destroyed without a thought.

And soon,

It will be my turn.



The wind mistress returns to me.

But now her chill 

Is comforting.

Goodbye wind,

I always thought you were beautiful.

A heavy machine

Laden with sharp edges and 

Pointed corners

Comes nearer 

And nearer.



Now that the end is so close,

I think;

Humans.

I worked for centuries 

To provide them with oxygen

So they could live.

We all did.

Now they kill us

With their sharp machines, 

And brutish greed.

And most definitely, 

I would give 

Anything in the world,

For all of humanity to

GO GREEN.
