A Pledge

A Pledge

 

Hey, eight billion on earth the population!

Let us take a pledge in unison

that each of us will plant saplings, two

and nurture them to grow as trees, new.

Hey, heads of each nation!

washout the least hesitation

frame suitable rules and regulation

to punish the culprit for damaging a tree

and pa with an incentive when afforestation we see..

to stop deforestation,

to prevent ecological degradation.

Hey men in chairs to run a government

For the loss to forestry, make amendment.

Hey town planners and architects!

Please ensure the existing plants your deed protects.

Hey men rustic or urbanite

hey man in chain  or man free

hey rich or pauper

planner or builder!

Ensure growth of forestry wealth

for better climatic health

while developing each city and town

least of the trees we cut down

all loopholes we must take care

every tree we must spare

And if it is a must

an alternative is to be focused

uproot the grown-up tree with care

and plant it and see it grow fair.

City planner to pay raft attention

coexist trees and tall mansion

a substantial amount of the budget of a nation

for the growth of forestry should be your contribution.

Death or damage to one tree's well-grown

should be judged as a human death by a nation.

In our curricula and law propagation

Forest should occupy key position

in our daily prayer tree and forestry should find a place

through flora and fauna, man should seek the Lord’s grace.

Deforestation is a main cause of ecological degradation

A pledge to plant trees is a right way in this direction.
