The Ancient Trees That My Oaths

I witness, yes, to this terrible flaw
I love trees more than I love people,
an ungodly sentiment, I admit
I am unspoiled America.

Alaska to Patagonia,
my woods the peoples wrecked,
my waters did they stink.

My air unpure
Haiti did I love,
deforested it slides
into yet another graveyard.
