One more tree that's cut down for development one less tree for a bird to perch upon <br />And every tree less in the Woodland means that soon the Woodland will be forever gone <br />And lost to the future generations where trees once were only houses to be seen <br />Where beauty was only gray and ugly concrete to cover Mother Nature's face of green. <br /> <br />Habitat destruction lead to wildlife extinction and extinction is forever as they say <br />Since the sad demise of the Moa and the Dodo so many creatures have gone the same way <br />The Thylacines not sighted for decades in Tasmania protection for them came that bit too late <br />So many species around the World endangered than extinction there is no worse a fate. <br /> <br />Have humans the right to threaten wildlife with extinction by cutting the trees that shelter them away <br />Around the World more wild creatures are endangered and more creatures become extinct every day <br />This Planet we live on we are meant to share with our bird and animal neighbours but we are driven by selfishness and greed <br />And one more tree that is cut out of the woodland nearer to extinction for one more species lead. <br /> <br />One more big tree the chainsaw man brings an end to one less tree for a bird on which to nest <br />And us humans for to make all wildlife extinct we surely have been trying our very best <br />The great forests before the chainsaws dwindling and extinction is forever as they say <br />And for our assaults on our natural environment the price for us all may be too much to pay<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-more-tree/
