The Tree Axed Today

Bala Venkata Subbarayudu Chilukuri 1966 (Hyderabad)

Haiku
The tree axed today
By  greedy men for wood
Gave life and water

About this poem

Mankind's survival; is largely dependent on trees. A tree being axed breaks the heart of a poet who cries in anguish at mankind's greed and indiscriminate killing of trees. The poem gently tries to remind civilized society about the need for protecting trees and green management of the industrial sector.
