Splintered
Snow in Summer, heat in Winter:
The planet's climate is splintered
By man's environmental abuse,
Neglect, destruction; and fewer
And fewer are the trees on Earth,
As forests are cleared and burning
Decimates the Amazon jungle---
Even now!
Atmospheric toxins are removed
By our tree companions who
Help to balance the atmosphere;
Without them, erosion is so near
And wind does howl, invoking fear!
