Let there be more trees, let there be rains

 

Let there be more trees

Let there be more favourable winds

Let there be low pressure bays

Let there be rains to wet the lands

Let the plants thrive, quench the thirst

In the name of colonizing the Earth,

Trees felled, towns, cities sprouted

Forests shrunk, trees vanished

Nothing there to induce the cooling

Of overbearing clouds, they just drift off

It’s time we woke up to this reality

Let’s begin planting more trees

To cool down the atmosphere

To bring the showers down

Yea let there be more trees

Trees are nature’s fingers

To touch, feel, tickle the clouds

Trees are nature’s shade

To protect from the scorching sun

Trees are nature’s oxygen factories

Let the trees be the gift

To the succeeding generations

To remain in touch with nature

To cool off, to have rains

Let’s do it for us, for the gen next!
