A Sestina on old growth forests

Old growth forests are a sight to behold             
 Humans wiping them out makes me angry
 Politicos who support this can go to Hell             
 Angel Oaks,giant cedars and Redwoods              
 These are some of the trees  I love  I say                   
 General Sherman -a most ancient tree                 

Angel Oak boughs are coiled ,I love this tree
All the ancient trees ;divine  to behold
Lay my ashes neath an Oak tree  I say
Clear cut forrests they made me quite angry
Giant cedars ,grand -behold the Redwoods
 Those who wreck  ancient forests go to Hell

Ancient forests wrecked I'm angry as Hell
The huge red oak is one hell of a tree
Other beatific trees are the Redwoods
Angrboda ‘s tree -lovely to behold
Cutting these trees down-I'm bloody angry
Politicos should pay a price: I say

Old growth forests are a biome,  I say
Those who destroy them are stupid as Hell
 Lay waist to old growth forests?-I'm angry
 I sat still under a huge cedar tree
 Hike thru these forests a sight to behold
I wonder what critters live in Redwoods

I wish I can visit the grand Redwoods
 I'm wheelchair bound  do not know what to say
Walked thru a small old growth woods nice to behold
The woods were denuded of old trees,oh Hell
  Old growth Cedars are one hell of a tree
 Most of the old growth gone makes me angry

Logging roads in BC grave ,I’m angry 
Love to muse beneath a pair of Redwoods
What type of vibe will I get from that tree?
 Protest the harm of old growth woods; I say
 If you don’t  help out ,I'm angry as Hell
 Clear  cut woods from a plane -shock to behold

Envoi:
Burn  old growth woods angry I say
 Stop logging Redwoods ,no,oh Hell
  An Angel oak tree I want to behold
