Read the poem
In the Forest
Tall trees growing on a mountain top
To me like a queenly crown I see
Wild animals running so swiftly
As lively as children full of glee.
Wild plants and animals are treasure to us,
Giving us food and shelter that we may live
If we take good care of them each day
No floods will happen in our community.
Men and hunters come as cruel enemies
Destroying priceless riches that abound
God-given nature so carelessly destroyed
Bringing us floods and other calamities.
