Look. and speak <br />But mostly listen <br />For what you do not observe and do not say <br />What you believe cannot see or talk <br />The only thing that is more real than yourselves <br />That is always around, watching <br />Faintly burning in the brush <br />Quietly dissolving in the rain <br />The toxins you produce will not silence me <br />But I need your help <br />The problem lies at my heals <br />While the solution jumps at your fingertips <br />It is not impossible to reverse the irreversible <br />To save what is itself solely keeping you alive <br />Look. and speak <br />But mostly listen <br />For it would appear rather absurd <br />To be arguing with a tree.<br /><br />Christopher's Dead<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/argue-with-a-tree-a-response-to-mother/
