David Orme
This poem is a reminder to people
of what would happen if humans
continue barging into nature’s
doors, killing animals and the
plants living within, for the use of
humans.
So what is the whole poem about then?
♦ The biggest victims of development are animals
and plants.
♦ By clearing forests or where animals live, animals
and other species will die because of loss of habitat
and rampant deforestation can lead to extinction of
certain animals or plants.
♦ Protect and conserve the forests and everything
within, so that animals too are given a voice.
♦ Love Mother Nature.
