NOT JUST A TREE

NOT JUST A TREE

Just a tree through mans eyes
Some see
Leaves blowing in the wind

Life giver I am throughout the land
But few ever credit me

A thousand years of life
A thousand tears I've cried
Because of what I've seen

I won't go into specifics
Just think understand what I mean

The backbone of Earth I am
I was here before man

I've seen species come and go
And destroyed by your hand

I've looked after you all
You all know how
Its time for you to look after me

For I'm just a tree
Through mans eyes some see

Please stop destroying me!

A tree feels, suffers, and contemplates life pass, and is an obligation of all to take care and protect nature, when a forest is burned, something everyone dies with him. A poem about nature carefully and that invites readers to take care and try to protect the trees, but mankind in general not will realize how important nature until it is nor a single being live in the rivers and oceans of the planet, and until the last tree is ripped from the face of the Earth. A greeting.
