MY POEM
My Forest
My forest …
Beautiful and leafy
The source of the existence
My forest …
Green and cool
The lung of the world
But, it is vanish
Some trees is fell
Forest is burn
So, the forest is barren
Oh, my forest …
If you can speak
Are you will groan ?
If you have eyes
Are you will cry ?
My darling forest …
My pity forest …
Oh, my forest …
From now
I will keep you
So that you eternal
Let’s be the greenest !
