TREES
trees don't ask to be born
something just happens
it seems like a good idea
and a shame humankind
didn't think of it first.

brevity is this poems friend. saying so much in so few words is a gift!
Thanks for your comment Huw. My aim with this was to highlight man's vanity in trying to control nature for his own purposes chiefly, yet short of genetic engineering has not bettered the "divine plan" which was perfectly in place without his interference. Obviously a contentious issue.
I think it works on an ironic level and can't quite see how it doesn't all fit together!!
Incidentally, I followed up Tea cosy Pete and was very moved by the man and how he brought light into people's lives - it must have been nice to know him even in his reduced state. Its funny how lives can turn on a rejection..... Thanks again. Ray

cheers guys and thank you - this was a quick splurge of a thought served with a soupcon of irony. !
