With Only Nine Trees Left

I seriously hope this one speaks not only for itself but also for the world in general ..🤍

With Only Nine Trees Left

It’s no wonder is it surely,

that Gaea is

crying with only nine trees

left and no

bees to cross-pollinate or

to go buzzing

around high and low with

these days ..

In essence, we are all quite

simply fucked ..

Extraordinarily well screwed

so to speak

and stuck fast, in a seriously

dreadful state ..

Why we never did learn in

the first place,

is beyond me and of course,

now far too late

to even consider backtracking ..

 

Author's Note

they say it's never too late don't they .. I reckon its the leaders who are the fools .. and it might just well be ..

Mother Nature weeps while our world suffers. The devastation we are inflicting on this planet of ours, a catastrophe. We can all do our bit, but world leaders need to lead and navigate a better way. Most topical Neville. My little pine trees grown from seed, are coming on a treat.

I just knew we were on the same wavelength our Chris .. thanks for being in my corner .. I'm glad to hear about those little pine trees but not surprised .. I fear I am about to lose a couple of my bonsai's 🌳🌲🌲🌳 💜

This is really hard hitting. A raw, honest, timely and powerful expression. I love how you gave Gaea a voice and didn’t hold back on the urgency. It’s a tough truth, but you’ve captured it with such clarity. Thanks for sharing this with us. 🙏🕊️

Indeed. We’ve planted a several ‘replacements’ as a family over the years. One of my dreams is to reestablish portion/s of desert into forest. It may still happen. 🙏🏻🕊️

Neville, this poem really hits hard. I love how you give Gaea a voice and make the environmental collapse so vivid..just nine trees and no bees is a striking image. The blend of blunt honesty, frustration, and a touch of humor makes the urgency of your message hit even harder. It’s both a warning and a call to awareness, and it really stays with you after reading.

Some things just need to be said and written about don't they .. I still lay awake at night listening to the wind & owls playing in the trees in my garden and think .. how long have we got .. Bless you my friend and take care out there .. its not always going to be a jungle .. Neville 🌻🌲🌲🌳👍

Neville, that’s beautifully said. It’s comforting to know there are still people who pause to listen and care--to really notice the world around them. I think that awareness, that quiet connection, is where change begins. Let’s hope the wind and owls still have trees to sing through for generations to come.

Bless you .. 😎🌻👍
