*Hanging from a tree,* *A sweet dead child I see,* *A child of God,* *A child of the forest,* *The jungle deep,* *Life all around,* *A cacophony of sound,* *Colour and perfume,* *Silence when I come near,* *All are hiding now in fear,* *Yet in the distance,* *My presence unknown,* *Innocence still sings its song,* *Should I have come quieter?* *Like a snake in the grass,* *Before my poison they know,* *Coming nearer and nearer,* *This sound of death comes clearer,* *Buzzing chainsaws now I hear,* *All creatures hiding out in fear,* *Devastation nears my path,* *A little monkey hurrying away,* *No more trees from which to sway,* *No more brothers with which to play.* *Hanging from a tree,* *A sweet dead child I see,* *This dead child is me,* *Gaia she is dead,* *No other mom, I have instead,* *The chainsaw rapist* *He is still free, on innocence insists.* *©26/02/2090/*

The chainsaw rapist

As Brother Georg pointed out, we've already chain-sawed down over half of Earth's forests, and mostly all of them within the last 200 years. I shudder to think what the next 50 years will leave Mother Earth and her furry children with.

Probably if we let them the world will be fifty per cent covered by a Mall and the other fifty percent by a paved parking lot.
Where is the housing you ask, monkey-man...that's you problem!

Jasmin,

I admire you for speaking up for the animals that are being needlessly killed by man. Your poem cuts straight to the heart and makes one angry and sad at the same time.

Hi Jasmin
What happens to so many animals doesn't bear thinking about. I wonder if sometime down the track, we can say the world is not a cruel place.
Be well, Liz

I wonder sometimes, as well as pray, for all the madness, the insanity to finally stop. What will it take....

Be always safe,
