POOR TREE PLANTING

 

 

 

 

It’s no wonder that huge trees fall unexpectedly

Due to windy situations or rough weather

All over this developed part of the world.

 

I have noted with concern on television

When experts are busy planting trees

Near buildings and anywhere else.

 

The size of the seedlings appear

Too big for transplanting

And the permanent holes look too shallow.

 

The roots get no chance to form deep down,

To create base and hold the fort;

They simply remain lateral and weak

 

When Mother Nature makes a rough call,

Trees simply come tumbling down

As the centers, cannot hold.

 

Structures, vehicles and other items get destroyed;

People are killed, injured, maimed

And the process continues over and over.
