If A Tree Falls In A Forest and No One is Around to Hear It, Does It Make A Sound?

'Tis a sad thing

when a tree falls in a forest.

It can't get back up.

It has no hands

like you or me.

It can't even move at all.

The saddest part

about when a tree falls in a forest

is that when it falls,

it is doomed to die.

Without its roots in the ground,

it has no chance to live.

So naturally, when a tree falls, it makes a sound.

A cry for help.

And if no one is around to hear it,

it still makes a sound.

But if no one is around to hear it,

does it matter?
