A Halloween Reminder: Don't Cut the Trees, Don't!

 A Halloween Reminder:

Don't Cut the Trees, Don't!

Dr Abe V Rotor

Pine tree killed by pollution,

Mt Pulag, Benguet 1988

Kamachili tree sacrificed to give way to a new road.
Barangay Sagpat, Bantay, Ilocos Sur

Camphor tree killed by water logging during
Typhoon Ondoy 2009, UST Manila

Don't kill the trees, don't;

make a stairway across;
save the clouds that fill the font,
we have had enough, the Cross.

"I like to take the time out to listen to the trees, much in the same way that I listen to a sea shell, holding my ear against the rough bark of the trunk, hearing the inner singing of the sap. It's a lovely sound, the beating of the heart of the tree." -  Madeleine L'Engle"
