 “Walnut Tree” poem of Nazım Hikmet.

Yes, walnut tree is watching us.  Is looking at what we do,  with a shock in its eyes…Because….

We doomed our cities to purely concrete squares, treeless streets and soilless parks.

Air is polluted, water is polluted… Fish have gone away; migratory birds are endangered; 
our dogs and cats are enslaved.

We have forgotten to produce… System has identified all of us as “consumers”, 
and while we are consuming lavishly, garbage mountains are encircling us mischievously.

And we are destroying the future of our children.

Hasn’t time come to say a “stop” thereto?

Come on. Let’s think over not a moment too soon. Where did we made a mistake? 
And what should we do from now on?

And let’s lend an ear to the Walnut Tree…
