Please Don'T Kill Me Poem by Dipy Hermonite

Please Don'T Kill Me

Rating: 4.5


On the slopes of the mountains
The pine trees - looking so swell
The breeze through them seems to be singing
The birds look so happy and well
But away in the distance
A lonesome old Tree seems so sad
It seems to be pleading to the fellow
Who's chopping it down with his axe

'Please don't kill me
Mercy mercy
What have I done that you strike me with glee
Oh can't you see
I've been such a good tree
So senor please don't kill me'

But the man goes on chopping
Leading the Tree to its doom
Each stroke from the axe keeps on biting
The sap flows like tears of gloom
Where is God at such moments
When the helpess turn to Him and cry
Where does He go, oh do tell me
When their echoes fade out and they die

We have to live and commune with nature. A tree is very important to nature its leaves refreshes the air and the fruits that it bears are for nourishment. It has many other uses: wood for houses, paper to write on, a haven for birds and animals also for helping with soil erosion. When one dies its a loss. An inspiring write.

We need nature.every single tree, every single person in this world. It's not our making its Gods making. But as I said In your other poem God gave us a choice. We are doing the harm, not him. It's our greed and ignorance and cruelty. Think down to earth. Man choose to destroy himself. Not even God can stop him. There are so many gods in this world and they are all giving man a hand to destroy this world and himself Keep writing. Keep sending your prayer to the one God. He sees everything. He Knows everything. Mohabeer Beeharry

A tree is helpless and cannot go anywhere. Man keeps chopping trees and it leads to global warming. Drought conditions will appear.One keeps repenting later. Beautiful poem.

Dis world is not meant to b paradise so God doesnt supervise evrything in d way He wants. He lets man kill n destroy in his freewill so dat he is judged n tested in d next world. So your poem was so great and hardhitting. Both on environmental n human scales.

I wonder myself....? ? ? ? ? where can he be when children so young are sick? ? And this World's evil way's seem to overpower all innocence!
