gone 'til replaced........

they cut down my fort. and my brother's. and my sister's. and the surrounding area. for a telephone pole. that doesn't even exist.

Guilt? there was no guilt,

unless you say they're plotting

they stood so noble, yet so ragged

this troop of weary green.

 

the uniform was mostly faded,

but some still kept it clean

still, it dripped of mud and grime

while others, smelled of evergreen

 

I'll never know what they were gaurding,

while they stood so gravly still.

i only know i won't ever hear there whispers

scrape against my window sill

 

Others will come, as others will

and others die as well

but I know that they were cleared away

for my electricity bill!

This is very well written, wasn't expecting this kind of ending, well done.
