“On Killing A Tree” is a graphic picture of man’s cruelty towards Nature which is symbolised by the tree. The poet gives a vivid description of the total annihilation of a tree. The poet shows that the total annihilation of a tree. The poet shows the modern man, out of his utter selfishness roots out nature and its very spirit. Man’s greed is not quenched by the mere physical process of killing a tree. ‘On killing a Tree’, is a notable poem by Gieve Patel.The tree which symbolises Nature has grown slowly consuming the earth and rising out of its crust. It has grown over a period of time absorbing air, water and sunshine. So, the tree cannot be killed easily. It takes much time to do it. The mere act of hacking and chopping are not sufficient to kill a tree which symbolizes Nature’s soul.The tree overcomes hacking and chopping by branching off small stems with the help of its roots. The bleeding bark will heal and the tree will grow again to former size. Knowing a tree’s power to come to life man decides to pull out the root itself entirely. The tree has been very kind and useful to man. Man, on the other hand, is not kind to the tree. He is selfish and cruel. His greed made him blind and ungrateful. He tries hard like a butcher to take away the soul of the tree. He makes several cuts in the tree and cuts it down. After cutting the tree down, he further cuts it into several convenient pieces. In spite of these cruel activities which have caused agony to the tree,man is not satisfied.

The tree will rise against man’s onslaught. Small green stems will branch off from the trunk, close to the ground and small branches sprout laughing at man’s ignorance. Those stems and branches soon grow and give the tree life again.But, man is determined. He does not allow nature a second life. He does not want the tree to live. He is so greedy that he uses the tree wholly for his selfish ends. So he makes a deep cavity on the earth and pull out the trees with its roots which were hidden for years inside the earth. The earth has so far protected the tree strongly and firmly and fed the tree like a mother. But, the cruel man now tries to uproot this safety. After pulling the tree down, the man further subjects it to various processes of rendering it to be fit for commercial purpose.
