Trees

Where once tall trees
Shaded the leaves
And birds nested
In ancient oaks
Now tall blocks
Of cold hard stone
Shelter humming machines
Provide shade for
Whirling crisp packets
And hardening gum
Our world is dying
Though its inhabitants live on
Our earth is vanishing
Under concrete and gum
No more will the birds
Feeding their young
Land on branches
Or rustle the leaves
There are no birds
There are no branches
There are no trees

Welcome on givnology!

This poem has a strong apocaliptic sound, but it is a powerful reminder for all to respect our world, to plant a new tree somewhere for every tree that is cut down, for we love our Earth, the trees, the birds, all of LIFE.

May we all awaken in time to save this our beloved Mother Earth!

Thank you for sharing your poem. Looking forward to read more from you.

Love,
Margherita
