The Ambassador Tree spoke again today
As I tended the Land
He stands a Fair Way Distant but now
Dominates the Place He Stands
Where before He spoke of Lines of Trees
Of Nature so Disturbed
Those lines now March On no more
The young Trees taken chopped to the Floor
Chopped and lopped and Trucked Away
Leaving a Bare and Barren Hillside Plot
When will Man ever Learn to Stop
When to Change Our Plan
The Ambassador Tree spoke clearly of
The Greedy Hands of Man
If only Sense would Prevail
And We Reseed the Barren Hills
With All that Nature did Intend
For these Spaces to be Filled
With Cork and Pine Honeysuckle and Thyme
Wild Sage and Azenheira
I shed my Tears and Share His Grief
Am I the only one to Hear
