Lunacy.

Lunacy.

A Poem by Fay Slimm

 

 

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.
