Day 16 Prompt: Disease

Title: Sixteen

Senseless deification polluted Earth, thereby
Increasing disease and raging plague on an already barren planet without understanding the cause and
X marks the spot where the victim's voiceless bodies are buried
The headstones are a faded epitaph of a doomed Arbor, bearing a
Eulogy written in the sap of the many, drained from their bark by humanity and is
Effectively, just another sheet of paper and although not in a leather-bound book, it carries a 
Note, which serves as a painful record of the wanton felling, and yet another innocent tree's destruction.
