The Forest System

Ciara Aseniero

Forest is a land dominated by trees,
The place where you can rest.
Looking at the trees reduces stress,
No or yes? Apparently yes!
Cause the view’s beautiful wherever you sit.

Forest is the one that purifies the air we breathe,
Cause of the trees we couldn’t feel the heat,
Filter the water we drink, prevents soil erosion,
Furthermore offers watershed protection.

However many years passed,
A land inhabited by trees and animals,
has been replaced by buildings like unnaturals.
They destroyed the forest for their own pleasure,
Without worrying the out comes in the future.

We as people we have to solve this problem,
Through conducting an orientation to them.
Avoid illegal logging, implement tree planting.
it’s not just for us, but also for the animals.
Animals live in destroyed forests, as humans we have to fix it first.

The forest system today is like a human problem,
They show that they are happy even though they are broken.
Like us as humans we tend to pretend,
We are still fighting no matter what happened.
Thus, let us love the forest as we love ourselves,
They also love us in different ways by giving shelter that we have received.

Appreciate the resources of the environment,
It should be implemented, tree cutting should be prevented.
We have the power to change the direction,
However we all must unite and work together to have a good decision,
And the most important is cooperation.
