ECOLOGICAL DEVASTATION – By Noor Rahim
Buzz! Buzz!! Buff!!! Went the chainsaw
Chop! Chop!! Chop!!! Went the axe-man
Gasp! Gasp!!Gasp!!! Went the citizens
Watching the killing of Mother Nature, in anger & sorrow
A mighty oak tree is what they saw
Felled by a machine and lumber-jack
Crash! Crash!! Crash!!! Came the mighty shock
All and sundry did watch the dastardly show
The question was under whose authority or law
Blah! Blah!! Blah!!! Went the Authority
Don’t worry, we will re-plant aplenty
With small saplings and any other seed we can sow
What idiocracy do the authorities bestow
By their senile permission to fell the mighty Oak
That stood sentinel for many years, for mankind’s sake
One can only ask oneself how long will it take to restore
Dream! Dream!! Dream!!! And just take a bow
For you will not be around when this happens
But you can surely see the damage done
“Man will kill Nature & Nature will kill Man” – a saying & how?
