Chainsaws Are Blaring Poem by Francis Duggan

The sun shining bright in the blue Summer sky
And the chainsaws are blaring in the parkland nearby
The workers of the developers are cutting old growth trees down
To make room for more buiildings on the industrial side of the town

To make room for so called human progress the trees have to die
That many of us humans are not friends of our Earth Mother is not a lie
Arboreal animals and birds every day are being robbed of their trees
Environmental vandalism does come at it's own varying degrees

The loud thud of the tall trees as they hit the ground
Nature's creatures do suffer where land development does abound
The displaced creatures must displace their neighbours or die in a violent way
Exticnction of willdlife due to land clearance is the price for to pay

The true friends of our Earth Mother sad to say far too rare
With the wildlife of Nature too many of us unwilling to share
The sun shining bright in the blue December sky
And the chainsaws are blaring in the parkland nearby.
