Tree Of Life
Trees give shade to passers by
With luscious fruits unmistaken,
Coconut water shreds man’s thirst
Cherries human lust
You shear my arms
To make your homes,
Your furniture on which
You lay and rest,
Ships can’t do without me.
I’m the passage to your eternity,
The cage in which you lay,
While living
Then when dead
I flower in spring and
Am an autumn to grieve.
I recycle each season
But as you axe me by
Do remember
you need me why
Ere you make a handle
For your tool
Plant a dozen
before you cool...
For tomorrows children
Will curse
As you fail to give credit
To an unborn generation
Don’t blame God,
For your folly,
Plant a tree,
Plant a tree
For the sake of memory
Help save the earth
From Global warming
Will ye?
