A Tree Warning
I know your father,
And his fathers too,
I know you all,
Together.
And now, without a frown
You want to tear me down.
Do your fathers know ?
And children`s children ?
No !
I feed the air,
Embrace the earth.
I keep the flame,
And waters hold.
Dear one,
How will you cope,
When I am gone
Devoid of hope?
The air will choke
And earth will move
Fires consume and
Waters wash away.
When I am gone, how will you cope,
Dear one, devoid of any hope?
