A Green Start :)


If you have zero knowledge about green campaign,

this poem maybe give you a different view about the world that you are living in:)

I AM A TREE

I am a tree
A tall tall tree
There are many things that I can see
I look above
I look below
So may things that I can show
I see the birds flying high in the skies
Making circles like huge mud pies
And at nights where do they go
On my branches both high and low.

I am a tree
A tall tall tree
There are many things that I can see
I see the snails,
Going oh so slow
Up my trunk , it is their bunk
Then there’s the butterfly
Fluttering through my branches
It feels so good,
It makes me do the crunches

I am a tree
A tall tall tree
There are so many things that I can see
I see the factories billowing out smoke
I see the child ready to choke
I see the garbage flowing down the stream
Oh if you could see
It would make you scream
I see the fisherman with the tiny fish
Oops that can never male a delicious dish.

I am a tree
A tall tall tree
There are so many things that I can see
I see the man, the woman, the boy the girl
I see that the world is in a swirl
I see them , and I see you
Oh I beg, what can you do?
I see the man coming with the saw
To cut me down,
Against that there is no law.

I am a tree
A tall tall tree
There are so many things that I can see
I want to live to tell the tale
Of things happening from mountain to vale
I am a tree
A tall tall tree
There are so many things that I can see
Save the trees, save the earth
We are the guardians of nature’s birth.

  1. This poem portrays a lot about what forests, trees, in particular mean to us.

    Trees are more than just resources. They are homes to the animals around us. Millions of organisms rely on trees for shelter and food. Destroying trees is as good as destroying the animal habitats and killing the animals.

    Smoke and pollution are what we've created. We're harming ourselves and harming the trees. In the end we're not just killing trees, we're killing the animals and we're killing ourselves.

    Save the trees, save the Earth. Because they are the guardians of nature.

  2. This poem uses personification to help us see through the eyes of the tree.
