They're Not Christmas Trees

They're not Christmas trees..

just for a season.. she thought

They're all year trees..

for many years..

.. Their resident

squirrels and flightless

birds have rights

.............

more and more say 'room

at the inn' by not evicting

them from the forests



So she decked living

trees outside

with white lights

.. then it did snow



how warm and mysterious

neath the cold

they did glow



like great lovers

helping nonbelievers

.. the Indweller

to Know



II

and watched in the

14 days after Christmas

as the green corpses

appeared on the curbs..

piled with effort

into their temporary

coffin trash trucks..



while the pure fallen snow

on the living firs

like lace

rhinestoned with the

dew of melting snow

in the sun does glow




Author's Notes/Comments: 

Christmas trees have been condemned by Jeremiah 10, by
environmentalists, by fire departments, by land fill conservers,
by simplicity activists.

JEREMIAH TEN: CHRISTMAS TREES SHOULD BE ALIVE AND OUTSIDE
Jeremiah 10:2-4: "Do not learn the ways of the nations . . . For the
customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the
forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. 4 They adorn it
with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will
not totter."

Isaiah: Break not the bruised reed

5th Angel of Revelation: Harm no green living being

Acts Two: He will pour out His Spirit on ALL creation.

Go ye therefore and preach to ALL CREATURES

God made a covenant after the flood never again to drown Earth or ANY
CREATURE. The sign of the covenant is the rainbow.

Anthony in Italy preached to humans. When they would not listen
he preached to fishes who are portrayed in oil portraits
with their heads out of the water intensely listening.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A CHRISTMAS TREE, MAKE IT ARTIFICIAL
OR PLANT AND DECORATE ONE OUTSIDE

Do trees have feelings? Yes
Do butchered trees cause fires? Yes
Do they fill up landfills? Yes
Do they clog up vacuum cleaners? Yes
Does deforestation cause hurricanes? Yes
Does deforestation cause drought? Yes
Did God create trees to be butchered? No
