Lush

Is it only me?
Or can you see?
The absence of green trees?
In the autumn breeze?
Oh! Is it autumn?
Summer! Or winter breeze?
People, realise atleast now,
We have changed it all!

It rains in summer
Do you know?
The trees almost bow
Winter is hot
Fear not?
It can burn a tiny tot!
Autumns are cold,
We can be bold,

But how can the poor trees hold?
Rainy days the trees shed leaves
Now I know everyone believes.
When was the last time we saw lush?

In trees and faces alike.
When was the last time we saw lush?
Or shrubs or herbs alike
So, now people, take my advice
Never miss the remaining lush greens
Feel it, be it, let it grow,
You may never see it in the future!
