On killing tree is a sensitive poem.The poet persuades the readers not to destroy trees and equates it with killing a human being! He says that plant takes sunlight, air, water and nutrients from the soil to gradually become a huge tree. It develops a long trunk with numerous fresh green leaves.
On cutting a tree the tree bleeds that is the plant sap oozes out of its stem and this is the same way when a human injures another human and he bleeds in the same the poet has made a comparison, indicating the importance of tree is as equal to a precious human being.
