Lungs of the Earth

You spoil the air by burning fossil fuel By absorbing odors, trees help to level You inhale fresh air To this, trees provide a lions’ share You exhale exhaust of the body Which the trees take into custody Trees inhale the pollutant And exhale oxygen that you want Every life lives with the breath Mother Earth also follows this path Human lungs that do this are worth Trees do this, as lungs of the Earth!
