In your words, a shudder unfolds,
A darkness deep, a hopelessness untold.
Many souls in silent suffering dwell,
Death awaits, in line, a tale to tell.

Trees and ecosystems in a slow decline,
Moving towards a fate, a somber sign.
Yet, the numbness within, unable to feel,
The impending demise, the world's appeal.

A different entry and a unique take on contest. Bravo. Thank you for listing it under my post. I really feel honoured.
