i think it can mean tow things branching (like trees) from similar problems.
The first is that the urban world is taking over and the wild is being consumed by industry.
The second is the forest is describing human unity and fellowship. Mikee is saying when will the people unite together. This makes more sense if you understand Mikee sees human relationships as trees. "Why are all the trees burning" has a double meaning, once u understand this concept, the rest of the poem can be worked out.
it is quite wonderful poetry, we should do it in schools.
