"In the name of progress, trees fall and fade,
Protect their shade before it’s lost to trade."
Over the years, the air turned gray,
As toxic fumes steal breath away.
With every tree lost, greed takes its place,
Destroying life at a reckless pace.
"Wings grow silent, footsteps fade,
For greed of man, the Earth is betrayed."
As forests shrink, their voices fade,
Wild creatures wander, lost and afraid.
Rivers dry up, the lands turn bare,
Yet in the wild, hope lingers there.
Storms now rage where forests stood,
Floods devour what once was good.
Yet through the cracks, green roots remain,
Nature fights through drought and rain.
Frozen giants shed their skin,
As icy veins grow weak and thin.
The sky now chokes in burning breath;
Forests whisper tales of death.
The future stumbles, losing its way,
Nature’s balance begins to sway.
Warnings echo, brushed aside,
Helpless nature weeps in stride.
Heal the climate before it’s too late,
Before we seal our planet’s fate.
Stand as one-let hope ignite,
With forests and food to set things right.
Let rivers sparkle, let forests stand,
Breathe in fresh air, protect the land.
With mindful ways, keep nature alive,
A thriving world where all survive.
Let hills and forests rise so tall,
Where trees and greens embrace us all.
Nature’s beauty-a sight so grand,
With birds in flight across the land.
From every heart, let kindness grow,
To heal the Earth and let it glow.
Let the Festival of Forests be our daily delight,
Join our hands to keep nature bright.
Time still holds a fleeting chance
To break these chains, to shift our stance.
A greener world is ours to weave-
Where hope takes root, and hearts believe.
"Let echoes of the forests sound-
A call for change, a pledge profound.
Not just in words, but in our way,
To plant new hope and light the day.”
