The Tree Axed Today
The tree axed today
By greedy men for wood
Gave life and water
About this poem
Mankind's survival; is largely dependent on trees. A tree being axed breaks the heart of a poet who cries in anguish at mankind's greed and indiscriminate killing of trees. The poem gently tries to remind civilized society about the need for protecting trees and green management of the industrial sector.
