If trees were us,
Would we cut them down?

If we do cut them down,
What does that make of us?

Yes, trees are us,
But you just don’t get it!

If only you’d knew …
You’d not even contemplate it

The cutting down of trees
Is like choking yourselves
With your own bare hands

Instead, why not extend those arms
And hug the trees
In appreciation and gratefulness

For trees are us
