A Sestina on old growth forests

Old growth forests are a sight to behold             
 Humans wiping them out makes me angry
 Politicos who support this can go to Hell             
 Angel Oaks,giant cedars and Redwoods              
 These are some of the trees  I love  I say                   
 General Sherman a most ancient tree                 

Angel Oak boughs are coiled ,I love this tree
All the ancient trees ;divine  to behold
Lay my ashes neath an Oak tree  I say
Clear cut forrests they made me quite angry
Giant cedars ,grand behold the Redwoods
 Those who wreck  ancient forests go to Hell

Ancient forests wrecked I'm angry as Hell
The huge red oak is one hell of a tree
Other beatific trees are the Redwoods
Angrboda tree is lovely to behold
Cutting these trees down-I'm bloody angry
Politicos should pay a price I say

Old growth forests are a biome  I say
Those who destroy them are stupid as Hell
 Lay waist to old growth forests?-I'm angry
 I sat still under a huge cedar tree
 Hike thru these forests a sight to behold
I wonder what critters live in Redwoods

I wish I can visit the grand Redwoods
 I'm wheelchair bound  do not know what to say
Walked thru a small old growth woods nice to behold
The woods were denuded of old trees,oh Hell
  Old growth Cedars are one hell of a tree
 Most of the old growth gone makes me angry

LoggIng roads in BC risky ,I'm angry
Love to meditate under a couple of Redwoods
What type of vibe will I get from that tree?
 Protest the harm of old growth woods I say
 If you dont  help out ,I'm angry as Hell
 Clear  cut woods from a plane shock to -behold

Envoi:
Burn  old growth woods angry I say
 Stop logging Redwoods ,,no,oh Hell
  An Angel oak tree I want to behold
