Were I a tree, I would from the worldly <br />pleasures and treasures remain free, <br />I would be unmoved by the calamities <br />(rain, earthquake, flood) of life, <br />Providing fruit to the beggars or poor I <br />would their tears wipe. <br /> <br />I would prevent soil erosion and <br />pollution, <br />I would to mankind give all problems <br />solution. <br /> <br />Were I today not there on this earth, <br />Man would starve for food since their <br />birth. <br />I attract rain clouds to bring rain <br />I give everyone happiness but who <br />does realise my pain? <br /> <br />For his own interests he cuts me down, <br />I am cut into pieces and in agony I <br />groan!<br /><br />Green Peace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-were-a-tree/
