The Planting. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Trees that help us in varied ways
Trees the greatest service to the whole world
Reckless intervention of human hands
The ax be fells the trees ruthless ways
Tree lovers plants the trees
Near the pathways, roads, and rivers
Where it grows with shades to all
A little relief from the sun burns in summer
A little shade is the real help to all
The wandering man makes his rest underneath
The thoughtful man allows to wander the mind
In a shade of the tree that stands with branches
The birds looking all with happiness
At all times welcoming the trees, the true friend
When we cut a tree plant a thousand ones
In places of friendly atmosphere for the trees
The most praiseworthy service to mother earth
We can make a large shade of humanity here.
