"Appreciation to Human's Source of Life" - Poetry, by Diamond Walker

Shintoism

of the heavens

is what this tree touch

Stretching free

its green arms

as if it just woke up

"Caution," by Anahi Naranjo 

Its protective brown shell giving shelter

to birds

squirrels

and hurls of little children tripping over its roots

Roots that thrived there for over a decade

But it was murdered

By what?

You may say

This tree once had a good life

'til it was struck down by a knife of disgusting feces

this tree once had a good life

until it was stomped on by cement in the creases

Never to fill its chlorophyll

with cuddly sunlight

Never to heal the ground when the sky cries

A life was gone that day

but the murderers never noticed and never will...
