On a stifling hot night
without so much as a breeze
Though grateful for the
nice weather – a bit cooler would please
I’m filled with a
reverence that brings me down to my knees
From where I thank the
Creator for providing us with trees
Not my intention to
mount a one -man crusade
Though trees rather
than concrete I’d willingly trade
Unchecked development
Mother earth is betrayed
Not just about
aesthetics – beneath a tree love that shade
Think you
disproportionate the fuss – why should we really care
For one thing the trees
provide your every breath with its air
If their limbs were
arms they might now signal with a flare
Perhaps on their behalf
I will offer a prayer
We humans need gain
humility – in the world gain right size
Will take seeing with
hearts not just looking with eyes
Consider profiteers
stories and expose the lies
Inaction will most
certainly usher in our demise.
