+++++++The Christmas Tree+++++++++

Don't need the tree

          It was months before Christmas
                and all through this land
            the hatchets were chopping
                      as fast as they can.
 
The pines, the spruce, they all are the same
                    there’s plenty more
                   wherever they came.
 
Onto the trucks they were stacked and tied
    and once again their lives were denied.
 
              All people then gathered
                  with a magical force
               all singing and chanting
                   without no remorse.
 
That day finally came with gifts and delight,
   but tomorrow came with a terrible sight.
 
You say you recycle, but it’s out to the street
               thrown out with the trash
                      and soon to be ash.
 
 Before you go out and squander your cash
                             ask yourself
                      will this be the last .
