Avenue Of The Baobabs Poem by Ima Ryma

Avenue of the Baobabs,
A site of few remaining trees
Due to the deforesting jobs
On Madagascar forestries.
Not long ago forests had thrived,
But the island's powers that be
Cut down and very few survived,
For better life supposedly.
The few baobabs that still stand
Will hopefully be symbols for
People to better understand
Life is better when trees are more.

The baobabs reach to the sky,
As if to ask Mom Nature - why?
