The Ancient Tree

there is this tree

it stands alone in a lush garden

vines climb the trunk

close to the green leaves

and blossoms


it was planted in the beginning

a lonesome seed at the time

that's all it took


the ancient tree

could last forever

that is if we don't wreck this planet first


that's why I try so hard

I can't let any of them go down

I'll protect them with my whole life


my sister dangles her feet from the branches

my mother picks the fruit for us

my father prunes the branches

we're all involved


come at it with an axe

I dare you

my response if deadly

oh you dare not?

that's what I thought


this is our tree

long leafy branches

deep roots

ripe fruit

this is our tree
