Substance of the Poem ‘On Killing a Tree’

Hello friends today we are discuss this question, the question is -Substance of the Poem ‘On Killing a Tree’

A tree grows slowly by consuming the earth’s nutrients. It absorbs sunlight, air and water for years. Leaves come out of its bark. So neither a jab nor hacking and chopping can kill a full-grown tree. Even if it is cut with powerful and cruel strokes, it feels pain but does not die. Its bleeding bark heals itself. Its trunk, from close to the ground, produces green twigs and small branches. Gradually, if unchecked, it grows to its former size. In order to kill a tree, it is to be uprooted from the anchoring earth. Its life-supporting root is to be removed from the earth. Then, in sun and air, it is scorched and choked. Finally, it goes through a process of browning, hardening, twisting and withering. Thus, ultimately the tree is killed.
