The Menace & Magic Of The Mukula Miracle Poem by John Sensele

Please, freeze the excessive exploitation of the Mukula tree
Which calls for a wall of protection for this treasure
That provides a habitat and nectar niche for the bee
On which agriculture and aquaculture rely beyond measure.

Please, decrease the Mukula miracle exploitation spree
Which threatens the survival of this species
God gave Zambia for free
Alongside fragile flora, famous fauna and fecund fish for her dishes.

Please, increase fees on timber lumbering trade, but free
Energies and synergies to reap this resource
With care and caution to a degree
That doesn't deplete the Mukula magic from its sublime source.

Please, tease the disease of deforestation
That with mindless care and abandon robs
Future generations of opportunities to sanction
Honest harvesting of forest flora without sobs.
