Tree

The oak has a thick barrel trunk

while the willow bends and twists.

The birch grows thin and tall

while the laurel is sacred.

A rowan is the tree of life

while the elder holds its sway.

The cedar versus the pine

which one will nor go away?

Each resistant to the day to day.

The winds try to bring them down.

A tree is nature’s way

of saying I am here to stay.

 

Tell me what I think!

My thoughts are inside my head.

Are you a telepath?

Can you read my thoughts?

Then why are you saying

I want this truck?

Do I want your burger?

Should I hate these people?

My friends and neighbours

are who I have in my thoughts

Not nihilistic murderers like you!

But don’t worry

I will protect my family from your hate

by telling them what I truly think!
