Down with 'Deforestation'

In an unimportant corner of the world...
Down a steep slope, lay a 'forest', virgin and pristine,
of incredible charm; hitherto unseen.
Its future looked bright for fauna to abound,
until..that fateful day, when things turned around!

After a month of glory in isolation,
'twas noticed, and they demanded destruction.
I, its caretaker, resisted and revolted.
But by then, a movement (mainly within the opposite sex) had already initiated.

Just three women, a few guys, came to the rescue of the woods;
claiming chopping it off, won't do any good.
To me, how did that matter?
when my own, sweet mother, had joined the cruel banter!

Options aplenty, but solutions- none,
I took my instruments, and cut it all off- one by one!

(After an hour)
I looked into the mirror, with utmost shame
without what I nurtured, I had no name!
On seeing me, my mother exclaimed, "You look cute! You look sane!"
Pause. I looked at her and said,
"But I'll never shave again!!"
