Trees of Life

Trees see daily
the destruction
of Natures Beauty
trees see the taking
of great forrests
from Mother Earth
so that the rich few
can increase
their contaminated wealth
whilst our spinning home
has to contend
with its ever
worsening health

This I can get into Lenny

Cutting the rain forests is bad. Any cutting without replanting is bad. Also, though we have a problem with not clearing underbrush in fire prone areas. This is a good, well written poem with a good message to it. Well done. Respectfully, Rett: "We can all be thankful that Picasso wasn't a plastic surgeon." Rett
