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.

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!

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.
