As You Hike Through Public Land
Mar 25, 2024
A poem for Arbor Day about the value of uncut trees:
As you hike through public land
Reserved for public good,
Be aware that public air
Outbids the price of wood.
Remember life is brief, is fragile,
Dangling in a breeze,
As you breathe in oxygen
You owe to uncut trees.
