Answer:

In his poem ‘On Killing a Tree’, Gieve Patel

gives a graphic description of the total destruction of a tree. Man realises that neither a simple jab of the knife nor hacking

and chopping can kill a tree. In order to kill a tree, it has to be uprooted. So the tree is roped, tied and pulled out. It is now cut off from the earth. Finally, in the presence of sun and air,

the roots pass through the processes of scor-ching, choking, browning, hardening, twisting, withering. In this way, the killing of a tree is complete.
