Green Poem: Protect the Forests
#GreenPoem of the Week
Save the forests
Oh people!
Why must we destroy our unique fauna?
Why must we destroy our floral heritage?
Oh People!
Let's stop killing our animals recklessly
Let's stop the brutal cutting down of trees
Oh People!
To enjoy, we must protect our forests
To survive, we need forests
No forests, no shelter
No forests, no medicine
No forests, no water
No forests, no food
No forests, No life
Brenda Nyingmah, G.H.S kedjom-Keku
