If a tree was cut in the society, and nobody complained,
Did it really happen, were the residents truly pained?
A permission had been obtained, so they were legally safe,
- That it was only for trimming, made some of us bicker and chafe.
'Earth's day's memory, is hardly forgotten,
Trees take years to grow- to kill them is rotten!'
Others countered, 'don't you know the simple, tree bonsai concept',
As to why - 'the branches fall in our parking, via them in balconies rodents crept'
It was also brought to our painful attention, that the very flats we live,
Were built after cutting down tress, so why do the builders we forgive.
Heated exchanges happened, in the Society WhatsApp group,
Some of us were labelled armchair activists, in one fell swoop.
To the on-ground people, who 'executed' in the sweltering heat,
Let me abstract, my thoughts - on a paper- while they appreciate the concrete.
