THE VOICE OF AN APE
6 B I wonder if the air will ever feel pure again.
I am the keeper of ancient forests.
I hear the crack of trees falling like thunder tearing
through the sky.
I see my kind vanish, our footprints fading like whispers in
the wind.
I want to hold the world in balance, as we once did.
I am the keeper of ancient forests, and my heart beats
with the pulse of the earth.
I pretend I do not know their intentions, though they are
as clear as the storm gathering underneath.
I feel the weight of their progress pressing against my chest.
I touch the bark of trees that no longer exist.
I worry that their hunger will devour even the stars and
the sky, leaving only a void where once there was light.
I cry for rivers choked by greed, their once-pristine waters.
I am the keeper of ancient forests, demanding humans to stop.
I understand they think they are important, but they're
like ships lost in a fog.
I say their brilliance doesn't compare to their destruction. I & S Activity - A hands on seed planting experience.

Farmers crossing the bridge would carry fresh
