Pity the Pith

Pithy, a word so wise and witty
 from travels that take us from wood to city
and in the magnificence of the tallest of the trees
 races the gusty winds heavy with their breeze
and why is this today such a tragedy
 when the falling warm brings only destruction and storm
so many denying the threats mankind has formed.
