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!
