Abstract
The killing of a tree symbolizes deforestation. The perishing of trees is a threat to our environment. A tree has grown to this extent taking a lot of time to grow by absorbing air, water, sunlight and minerals from the earth soil. The roots give energy to the trees. But people kill the trees without any mercy for their instant interests not considering the long-term impacts and as a result, the environment, as well as mankind, suffers. Therefore, we must be mind and soul towards trees and killing of trees must be stopped. If we consider the symbolic meaning of the poem, we will definitely stop thinking at last and finally say that Tree means Social Evils or Socially worst practices. Can we compare Tree to a social Evil? When we want to remove one long practiced custom in the society it will be like well grown up tree, to stop it im-mediately is impossible, it's not possible to stop after a bit of warning or precautionary measures (A sim-ple jab or knife) Like this a whole poem consists of images and symbols.
