Kilmer's poem has always been, and still is one of my favorites. What a contrast to how humans actually think of trees (and all of nature, really). And the driver's comment “When the bulldozers come, it’s too late.” leaves an eerie feeling like Frost's neighbor in Mending Wall "Good fences make good neighbors." Also, the fact that corporations have legal rights (indeed, they have MORE legal rights) than people or trees is just wrong.
