Lunacy.

 

 

Lunacy.

 

Soundlessly screaming down she goes.
Clawing the bedding her branching toes.
Cracking of limbs making terminal sound.
Breaking her back she drops to the ground.

 - - - - - - -   ! ! ! ! !  - - - - - - -

Axes held ready for successive blows.
Another tree tumbling, down she goes.
           Forests are falling on which breath relies         
While rootlessly naked woodland soil dries.

- - - - -- - -  -   ! ! !  - - - - - - - -

No matter the future timber must fall.
Careless abuse taking no blame at all.
A Cedar succumbs and crying she goes.
Crashes to floor in sudden death-throws.

- - - - - - - - -    !  - - - - - - - - -

 

Planet's oxygenation lopped by greed. 
Indiscriminate raping ought to concede. 
Trees purify air as earth's magnet unrolls
Lunacy governs when down each tree goes.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Shame on those aiding deforestation.

If the future could speak for itself we should see the sense in forestation......... trees produce the air that we breath. Thanks for your potent review Nev.
