A Wonder
A wonder of technology
Epitomy of simplicity
A dynamo of energy
Manufacturing complexity
I’ll keep it brief
A leaf.
Layers of green splendour
Cells of biochemical wonder
Intricate skeleton to ponder
Producing energy to squander
I’ll keep it brief
A leaf.
An organelle straight from the past
Under the name of chloroplast
Containing mysteries so vast
The chlorophyll iconoclast
I’ll keep it brief
A leaf.

Evolution has provided us with some absolute wonders. We should cherish it and protect them all.
But for most people a leaf is just a leaf.
They wouldn’t even miss them if they went.
