A beautiful monster stands in destruction
\nHis home now a desolate plain
\nThe last of his kind
\nA terrible crime
\nResisting the toxic, wet rain<\/p>\n

As tall as a house, stronger than stone
\nThe humans destroyed all but him
\nHis beauty, they swore
\nWas worth one more war
\nNothing survived but the whispering wind<\/p>\n

Destroying each other, do we really care?
\nPolluting the air and the sea
\nDon’t think it’s true?
\nDon’t believe what we’ll do?
\nWhy don’t you ask the last tree?<\/p>\n
