Please,
do plant more and more trees
For
the more cool and pure breeze
For
the Nature’s more efficient fridge
For
the timely rain water - the Elysian nectar
For
the improvement in the current matter
For
the Earth to relish, rejoice and glitter!
Please,
do plant more and more trees
To
build a green and verdant bridge
Between
the Earth and the Heaven,
Oh!
The angry glare of the Sun to lessen.
To
replace the thick, festering smog
With
pearly, silvery dew, mist and fog!
Please,
do plant more and more trees
More
colours to the mundane Eden garden to add
To
watch the gambols of deer, bear and leopard
To
view the joyous dance of the flowers with glees
To
enjoy the lively feasts of the leaping, swaying fruits
To
feel the faster down-ward run of the long
glad roots!
Please,
do plant more and more trees
To
elongate the buzzing of the busy bees
The
safe levels of the huge seas to maintain
The
songs of cuckoos and nightingales to enliven
To
stop staking the Globe’s Eco-system on lease
To
block the ways of calamities that ruin and seize!
Please,
do plant more and more trees
For
the more lasting laughters of the diligent peasants
Due
to more yields of crops – a token of their due fees.
For
the sweeter twitters, chirps, croons and chants
For
the better and brighter tomorrows
With
the exile of all miseries and sorrows!
Please,
do plant more and more trees
To,
the Solar System placate and please
To
lengthen the breath of the Earth
To
re-establish respite, laughter and mirth
To
maintain the customary Nature’s cycle – a boon
To
heave a sigh of universal relief and reprieve soon.
