Trees

 

Tres are my mother,

trees are my father,

trees are my brothers and sisters,

trees are my children.

Trees are my family.

 

Men are going to the moon

and leaving the earth naked:

in greed and in thoughtlessness

they are destroying the forests.

 

Trees give us fresh air,

water and good soil;

and the trees are being cut down.

 

We should create

a kingdom of trees.

How do we create a king of trees?

 

Plant a tree every time

a child is born.

Protect the tree

as you would the child:

nurture it, help it, take care of it

so it grows like a child.

 

Plant a second tree for marriage:

love it like you love each other,

then it will come to symbolise

the meeting of two souls.

 

Plant a third tree for a death,

and put a carved stone near it

with the name of the deceased;

so you will remember your father,

your grandfather.

 

This is how to create

a kingdom of trees.

If we do it we will have fresh air,

pure water and rich soil.

 

This is my message for humanity.

This is how to create

a kingdom of trees,

and bring happines to all mankind.
