The trembling of leaves that soothe you in summer, the way
the wind rustles through the perforated leaves into your hair and makes you
feel alive, the smell of wet soil after the first rainfall of monsoon, that
cold ceiling that a huge canopy provides you in summer, Tell me, don't you love
them?
Obviously you do.
And then, like brilliant hypocrites, you go around and buy a
carved wood-made bed, to decorate your home.
Had you been the tree, in what language would you have sworn
to them, who you provide shelter, calmness, and most importantly oxygen, and
then they stab your skin with big sharp objects, cut you slowly, tearing your
skin apart, ignoring the fact that you have a life inside you, and carves on
your skin with pathetic sharp objects, and sell you?
And, not just that, they let you breathe. Trust me on this,
you would be dead, had they not exhaled oxygen for you. Your lungs are thankful
to them, but you are not.
Wow!
And, do you know how their roots soak in the rainwater, so
that the water table is full enough to provide you with enough water for
bathing, cooking, and flushing your toilet?
Obviously you do. You know it all.
and, then like brilliant hypocrites, you go around and cut a
tree.
Perfect!
Do you know the earth is warming up every second?
Do you know, soon the icebergs will melt to rise the
sea level enough, and drown you?
Obviously you do.
And then you go around and see a tree being cut, and like a
sincere observer, you enjoy the view, or even worse, you ignore and walk away.
Awesome!
Don't you realise it is the high time that we stop being
hypocrites.
If not for the sincere friends that care enough for your
conversion of oxygen to carbondioxide, but at least for our own sake.
We would soon be dead.
Do you know how fast the forests are disappearing?
And with forest, the birds and animals are losing their
home?
How would you have reacted, if you woke up one fine morning,
and find the ceiling of your room gone, just because someone else needed the
bricks?
And. do you know, with the loss of habitat, our earth is
losing out most of its endangered animals?
And, that is affecting our food chain?
Obviously you know. You know it all.
But, tell me, what is the point of knowing so much, if we
don't know how to stand against it, especially when we have the clock ticking,
towards our doom day?
Dear hypocrite folks, its HIGH time. Let us stand against
it. Let us stop killing our oxygen-providers with such pathetic sharp objects.
Not just because, they have a life, but because, we won't have a life, without
them.
So, for once, let's be selfish, and save ourselves.
