The Land Developer

You show a land developer a beautiful tree

And an ugly thing in the way of human progress is all he does see

One more thing for his workers to remove after cutting down

To make room for more buildings in the ever expanding town

Trees to be removed money he has to pay

This cuts into my profit with a sigh he does say

He says the local animals and birds can move to elsewhere

There are plenty of more trees in the country out there

So little about Nature's creatures the land developer know

To him every black feathered bird is a crow

And that Greenies from standing in the way of human progress cannot be excused

For him and others like him for finanncial gain the land is for them to be used

The man who cannot see any beauty in a tree

Wealthy in material assets and money but living in soul poverty.
