Grounded!

Get hold of all the green you can - while you can! Cause we humankind being so cruel, are chopping down old and elegant trees all around.
Some citing road widening as the reason,
while for the others
it's hazardous during the rainy season!
Behold, the giants are on the way,
Screaming for attention, screaming for space!
For them unrooting a tree is task of minutes.
Years that it took for the trees to grow
Spread it branches, Trying to touch the sky.
Not sure if it did or not, but for us - the selfish beings- it showered with generous shade, generous air!
In return, we are giving it exactly the opposite of what it wanted - making it touch the ground. Shattering the dreams of years to touch the sky!
"Sky is so high darling, you better stay grounded!"
Sarcasm apart, I see the reasons apt sometimes and some other times I see the selfish beings- getting stronger yet again. I feel sorry for the trees, I feel helpless at the least. Civilisation that we call this as, seems to be nothing but destroying almost everything that naturally occurs, just to suffice and serve the needs of the human kind.
