She fell slowly <br />Muttering <br />Asking God to forgive everyone <br />She fell <br />As she cried softly with pain <br />The foliage screeched <br />As they got crushed <br />Moaning helplessly <br />She could not cry out loud <br />She could not warn us <br />She could not protect herself <br />A helpless being <br />Alive, but not able to prove it <br />Yes, a pitiful thing <br />A sacrifice to man’s deeds <br />One hundred years it had been there <br />A giant of grace and beauty <br />Yet, now it all ended <br />With man forgetting to reward her <br />For all the care and help she had given <br />The squirrels and the birds <br />Looked sadly at her <br />Their shelter was now gone <br />Their stepmother was dead <br />She now lay as a martyr <br />Not reacting to the wind or the light <br />All was lost <br />I stood there quiet <br />Praying for her soul <br />Forgive me, <br />I whispered <br />I walked away leaving her <br />Yet still <br />Part of the gain<br /><br />Reshma Dream Is Never A Crime................<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-end-10/
