Fauxcroft Wade Poet Free verse

Life Sustaining Forest

Deep and dark is the Verdant forests

Supporting the ecological balance

Supporting many plants and species

A multitude of branches and various green leaves

Giving rise to undergrowth so vital

Fruit bat’s dropping life giving seeds

The ecosystems structure of the forests

Surpass much more so than technology

And yet despite there primordial eldritch nature

We choose to cut and burn them down

Without the understanding and with our ignorance

We choose the path of unbalance

Despite the flow of beauty and life sustaining properties

Arrogant men just destroy it all

Cut down and burn and ravage, the earth

Leave nothing but a landscape of horror in their wake

Ignorant arrogant selfish man

Sacrificing forests as if in its way

Yet without them it spells the end of days.

Caren Krutsinger April 29, 2018 at 5:07 AM Ignorant arrogant selfish man - all of them or just the king? This is a solid piece of passion on a brain; why not just stop thinking, Fauxcroft? Wouldn't it be easier? Nicely done! Well said! Fauxcroft Wade April 29, 2018 at 9:40 AM The king is followed and those that follow are as culpable if they do nothing. To stop thinking is not an option and yes while easier it would be a betrayal of self. Thank you for reading and appreciating.
