However, it's not seeing litter spoiling the area which really annoys me. It is the fact that trees get cut down in watermead park, to my knowledge with very little cause or reason for the destruction of the trees. When it first happened a year ago, I assumed that the trees were being cut back to creat more views of the lakes, but then this year the people cutting the trees down would have done it in the same place again this year, rather than two new areas which were already beautiful. I was hurt when they did it the first time, this year, I can see that people are using the areas while they are cutting trees back, but only for fishing. Surely a park doesn't need people to fish when it's already lovely for walkers and dog owners, and families and cycleists.
I wrote a poem about it when I first encountered people doing this,but I don't have it in front of me and can only remember a bit of it. But I'll write a new one similar to the first;
Everyday, I pass here,
Everday enjoying the view,
And now you think to destroy it, True?
Remove the fun games of spotting the lake,
Destroying the homes of birds and creatures,
For a reason unknown to me.
Everyday I pause to enjoy,
Look at the views and wildlife,
Watch the world go by, until you came,
Now it's the spring, season of birth,
And you come uprooting trees from the earth,
Cutting and burning,
is there any point to this hurting?
