I ponder in my heart if feelings they have <br />Or thought of their own posses they. <br />I am thinking in my mind if they too have souls <br />Or do they think we are unfair to them <br />Felling them in prime and green. <br />Our beds and fittings we make. <br />Do they in silent agony bear the pains we afflict <br />When the axes or saw meet their marks? <br />Oh, or the heat of the ‘chadding’ fire we cause. <br />Are they happy when the birds perch and rest <br />Or glad the fowls find meals in their fruits? <br />Would they be glad if today I fall <br />Dust to dust, nourishing their roots? <br />I am just thinking of what the trees are thinking.<br /><br />Stephen Olufemi Omolara<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thinking-about-what-the-trees-are-thinking/
