Losses

The general stands at the table,
Looking at what appears to be a paper,
When he glances up-
I spot a sadness in his eyes,
The remorse is felt for the loss,
Many have sacrificed their lives,
Yet many others share the same fate,
But death comes swift,
Leaving the dependent,
Homeless,
This is the answer-
For trees,
In the 21st century.
