Please Don'T Tamper With Us Forests

As you can see I am very big,... One of the biggest forests in the world. I belong to a major league Of chief forests of the veld. I pack, daily, tons of oxygen Which I release to the atmosphere. That gas, along with nitrogen, Needs replenishment as part of air. In here you can pick things to eat right away But most of my gifts to the world Are not visible day to day Though by them life's pillars are held. I have mentioned world oxygen. There are also pulp and paper, Many ingredients used in medicine As well as your flora and fauna! We are called the lungs of the planet, And as such we should be respected; But we are facing the worst challenge yet: By men's schemes we're being decimated! What is most loathsome of all Is when men use us in their wars. They detonate and fire their wherewithal And leave bad memories and scars! Go and warn your fellow men That original features like us Have been ever here since Eden And tampering with us is dangerous!
