A Not-So-Subtle Allusion to Tolkien

I'm not a prophet or the son of a prophet, yet I can't help but draw conclusions from what is right in front of my face.  American evangelicalism is in full melt down.  Even more alarming, Fangorn Forest is awakening, and it is seething with anger.  The reason for this is because the white wizard, Saruman, who once walked in the forest's shade has committed treachery.  In order to gain the favor of Sauron, the ruler of Mordor, Saruman has despised and betrayed the forest to its enemies, and the forest knows it.  At minimum, as Fangorn continues to shake off its slumber, it will never again trust or follow the white wizard.  Of course, I could be wrong about all this, but I don't think so - because I live in the forest.  I hear the rustling of leaves as a cold bitter wind blows through the trees, and it makes me shutter.  To me then, the sobering question is:  If not Saruman, who might the forest follow?
