Trees Band In Brotherhood

Trees with their tall reach
And with lofty wisdom teach:
Band in brotherhood,

But what do men learn?
Greed, gather, gain— more to earn,
Needless thence to brood!

Poet’s note: If the trees of green dense woods have one thing to teach, it is cooperation and banding together in brotherhood as they themselves seem to do. Yet, what has mankind so far learnt? Not but rat race of competition, come-uppance and destroying the very earth that sustains life. This is why the action plan to reverse global warming is not gathering steam the way it should.
