They Killed Themselves

The destruction of our forests, from wildlife's point of view!

THEY KILLED THEMSELVES

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beasts known as human beings

Have done the most unspeakable things;

They came into our neighborhoods

And demolished our life-giving woods;

Now, they sit gasping for air;

Their destruction lies dead, everywhere;

Do they, even begin, to understand

That they have, also, killed man?!

[Coyote Poetry]

Your words are true. If we don't gain some wisdom and stop the cutting down of trees and the great forest. In 30 years. Man will have great problems that can't be fix. Everyday one more animal is lost to man's greed. If man don't change his ways. He will join the list of animals that are gone forever. Thank you for a excellent poem with a powerful message.

It seems that the greedy who're destroying our world could look past their pocket books and see what horrors they create, but apparently they can't. Then again, maybe they do, but just don't care.

You spoke of powerful voices.
I think they (stupid people) are yet to understand the cruel consequences that have been made by their stupidity. I just want to say...God bless them. Nice poem. I liked it.

I bow tree can gave oxygen of 25000 himan beings, now the huge concrete trees expels tonnes of nitrogen, let us wait until the turning point.....

Christina These words do speak true and hit hard as a box of nails. But I think you could try to extend a little more. It seems like an excellent beginning of an excellent piece.

[Sarah Amanda Fletterich..]

I totally agree with what this poem brings out. People are constantly killing off land and resource that 50 years from people are going to be dying of the unexpected creations God as stored away. Having cancer is going to be the least of peoples worries by the time most of the world resources have been demonlished and limited.

I can feel the anger flowing in this poem.
