How can you say that it is not easy to kill a tree.Describe it 100 words.
 

The poet Gieve Patel, through his poem, remarks that killing a tree is not an easy task as it takes a lot of time to do so. It cannot be done merely by a stab of the knife because the tree grows up to be very strong over a period of time, gradually drawing nourishment from the earth, the sun, the air and the water. 
A tree cannot be destroyed with a few cuts and blows. The pain caused by the hacking and chopping is not enough to kill it. Its injured and mutilated bark will repair after some time and tender, green twigs will rise up from its hacked base. If these small boughs are not cut, they will soon attain the original size of the tree. Just as it has taken time to grow, the process of killing it is also time consuming and tedious.

According to the poet, the process that can kill a tree involves cruelty and ruthlessness. The poet actually sensitises the readers to save the trees and conserve the environment.
