Let the trees grow

When you cut a tree
Do you realise the long years
It took for it to grow?
Maybe it existed even before you
In a world that you didn't
It knows the story of your parents
And your great grand parents

All its life it has only
Given food, shade and shelter
Why have you killed it?
You have claimed it your own
When it belongs to nobody
It is a creature that helps everyone
But you choose to rule over it

No, you don't deserve to cut it
No not in this life or the next
You do not own the tree in your land
You owe to it forever
Be grateful to share the land with it

Let the trees grow in the lands
Let it embrace you in its shade
Because the world needs more greenery
Not more and more deserts
