A Cigarette Butt
A cigarette butt is not a pretty
thing.
It is not like the towering trees,
the green meadows, or the for-
est flowers.
It is not like a gentle fawn, a
singing bird, or a hopping
rabbit.
But these are all gone now,
And in the forest's place is a
Blackened world of charred trees
and rotting flesh—
The remnants of another forrest
fire
A cigarette butt is not a pretty
thing.
