Sheer Ignorance Is Bliss

As a food source the stand of monterey pines the yellow tail black cockatoos will miss But to those who removed the trees and those who paid to have them removed sheer ignorance is bliss How can they care of Nature when of Nature's ways they do not seem to know It takes decades of years for a cone bearing tree to a mature tree to grow I'm not one to talk for in the past to Nature I've not been a friend Many of us are hypocritical in our ways why otherwise pretend Yet people should realize that when they remove mature pine trees yellow tail black cockatoos Who shred their cones for the dark seed are those destined to lose This Planet with other forms of life we are supposed to share Yet to habitat destruction many animals and birds are becoming rare Due to our disregard for our Natural Environment more species of wildlife endangered by the day That many of us are not friends of Nature does seem quite sad to say Thirty cone bearing monterey pine trees removed for to build a factory That the birds lose out to human greed does seem all wrong to me.
