Tree roots are landmines
Their shimmering waving shadows
A signal to the enemy
Their leaves
A shelter terrorist birds
Their fruits pin bombs
And their flowers smell rebellion
This is a security risk Go cut down the trees.
#CondemnTreeCuttingInSindhUniversity
Note: This prose poem is written in reaction to the orders of the University of Sindh Jamshoro, Sindh, Pakistan, to chop and cut the trees. They consider that the trees pose a security risk. This is a sheer anti-environment decision and a violation of international environmental laws. These orders are being condemned by the Sindhi intelligentsia. Despite that, the administration of the University of Sindh is insistent on implementing its orders.

Hello! I am a poet and writer. I write whatever comes in my mind.

I was going to relax this evening. Tune out, hunker down, look after myself. I need it. I am exhausted. Thoroughly used up. And it's only Wednesday. Not even half way through the week. A week that in the UK, is Mental Health Awareness week. I don't know who decides these things, who gets to co-opt a day, a week, a month, and declare it a thing about a thing. But I do know a lot about mental health. I know a lot about mental health AND I know a lot about working for the UK's National Health Service. And so it was with interest that I clicked play on the below video, earlier today. By the time I finished, I was in tears.
