Grandiosity
Gaucherie
Gazump
Gelid
Genuflect
Guile

Grandiosity doesn't seem right
Here.
The trees hold up the sky
And both are bigger than man
Will ever be.
'Tis mere gaucherie to try and compete.
Next week these woods may be gone.
Great guile was used to create
Another housing development.
Gelid lumps of flesh
Voted to zone it.
They didn't own it, but that
Hasn't mattered yet.
They're care is cold
Always.
They don't pause to reflect
Or even genuflect
Just gazump the gullible...
And yet,
For today,
The trees are greater.
For today.
That's all we get.
