Forest Calls Me

I am indifferent to the frantic calls of forest

Forest calls me again and again.
Forest tells me to feel her pain.

Feller cuts trees like slayer.
He does not give heed to her prayer.
Birds and butterflies flutter in fear.
Ferns and flowers shed their tear.
All other wildlife cry for life.
Cruel feller growls with knife.

Forest calls me day and night.
Forest cries to see her plight.

I pretend to be busy over greater task.
Nobody knows me under my mask.
I give lecture and write against felling,
People get charmed by  story telling.
They give awards for my deed!
They chant slogans to inspire my bid!


Poor forest calls me again and again.
Her frantic calls die in vain.

I must agree with C.P. below. This really got my attention, because I love and have a great appreciation for nature. We are all energetic beings, even what would seem inanimate. But people have long lost their balance, how to give with one hand and take with another rather than just take with both. Thank you for sharing awareness and prompting mindfulness.

Thank you for the thoughtful observations.
Let's try together to build a strong community of proactive people who will not provide lip service only.They will strive to follow our good forefathers to conserve nature in practice too.

It is so painful to see the cruel destruction of the nature and beauty.The killers should keep in mind that the nature will take revenge of it.

Very nice creation!!

I believe that nature is the most beautiful and important creation of our planet, it was here first and without trees and insects and all the varieties of natural things, we wouldn't be. This really connected with me because I am an outdoorsy person and , too, feel the forest's plight. Thank you for writing this.

What an inspiring poem, zainul. We all know that deforestation is happening all around us, but so few of us take the time to listen to forest and rebuild. Love that you have brought awareness to this. Excellent work.

Thank you Lori for the admiring voice of inspiration.
I am very convinced that the movement for green environment and forest has many supporters among the writers.
Let's put our best efforts together from our respective locations to save and rebuild forests.
Our concerted efforts will keep this world habitable for us and the future generations.

Oh, man, this is crazy good. Nature so beautiful, sacred, and necessary. But humans don't really get that or don't think it's as important. I've gotta say, you captured that well. I love this(:
