The ManicaPost
Tanyaradzwa Karen Guwakuwa
As l perceived you being chopped into pieces,
Being engulfed by wild fire,
My heart bled.
Knowing that you are my source of life as you provide me with adequate air in the name of oxygen,
That l need in order to breathe,
Knowing that you protect my vital organs by acting as my carbon sinkers,
Knowing that you provide me with nutritious food,
It really hurts me from within as l think of your importance in my life.
You indeed play a major role in the beautification of our homes.
Not only do you act as a stumbling block for erosion and protect the soil but,
You also provide a habitat for some other living creatures.
Your scintillating view is what brings a smile on my face as well as joy in my life every morning as I peep through the window and see your eye captivating view.
Vegetation, I can’t imagine my life without you as it will be as perplexing as a Greek puzzle.
