Prime Farmland Converted To: Carbon Credit Weed Pine Plantations Poem by Terence George Craddock

the protester wants prime farmland
the best farmland turned into weed
pine plantations for carbon credits
the protester never realizing that weed
pine plantations disaster never thinned
in growing are combustion fuel fire hazards;

pine is a heavy drinker of water daily
water in summer droughts in short supply
pine needles ground fallen are toxic to soil
pine is little diversity a limited ecosystem disaster;
growing diversity nature forests is the answer
protecting native forests from milling clearing

for Auckland city housing is the answer;
trees cut milled return carbon back
to environment trees were never best
options for removing industrial carbon waste
from polluted industrial waste atmosphere;
actually cleaner industry better technology

reducing pollution at industrial industry
source was is still the best solution;
