A different perspective...

After today's Geography lesson, I have gotten a new perspective on the environment...I found out that sometimes people's lives depend on our WOODen table,WOODen chairs and even paper which is made of WOOD...have you realised that I've been saying stressing on the word wood?...well you see my geography teacher told me that one of her lecturers told her that somewhere in a rainforest somewhere in the world, scientists have found a plant that could cure cancer/AIDS (she's not quite sure which it can cure) and when they came back to look for it, it was already gone...it was cut down...can you imagine how sad that is...millions of people who were infected with either of these two diseases could have depended on that plant to cure their somewhat incurable disease and they could have live on with their lives happily after going through a trying period with a new zest for life...but now they can't unless scientists found a miracle medicine which can cure this diseases...I'm just reaching out to say that we should stop cutting down trees and that we need the trees, flowers to live because you see the more we cut down trees the more we are courting death in the face...I don't know how many people would actually care about what I said but if I had just made ONE person to actually agree with me or change their like I did..well then I've done my job...
Now a parting love poem...
The tree is green
Before it falls
And become my paneled walls.
Or perhaps it burns
To give me heat ,
Or light my room,
Or toast my feet.
Or picks my teeth,
Or stakes my vines,
Or makes a rack
For my best wines.
Or crates my goods
And packs my house
Or frames my doors,
Or traps my mouse.
I think I will never see
A finer thing than a tree.
A tool of great utility,
Made especially for me.
by James R.Muri
So before you even step on any flora, or you think that the big tree is such a bother just think if the tree wasn't there would it block the sunlight for you when its hot or shelter you from the rain when its raining?Or if there were no flowers would there be any to give to your loved ones...just think about it....Labels: environment, New perspective, poem
