Under This Same Tree

It was here that we met. In monism hearts melt. here is where you where born. So young but owner of all trees Beneath this tree kins came and go Taught to embrace and to rule; To repel and to conquer. Nature's at your call Then they came; They they forged gold masks. Pretty looking yet so vile beneath. As eye openers they came But what we saw where shadows Thus we didn't see at all As rights lost, branches fell from this tree Yet so strong the trunk remained So embrace, repel, elope... your choice Water passed before realization Yet we realize a great mind fought In the name of Mandela he came A true Lamp light in our lost journey He taught us to love and unite... a true monist We will stand side by side Water and nurture this leaveless trunk A day will come when it would rise again Flourish in fruits and blossom in flowers Only a bright future can fulfill the the past It was under this tree it began And it will remain under this same tree.
