Suicide By Tree
Trees don't commit suicide
Trees don't wake up one morning and end it all
Like humans
Trees don't give up or give in
Trees persist and persevere for millions of years
Image a world
If California Redwoods took their own lives
To die in mass suicide
Trees have a purpose and a knowing
That all life is precious and a gift
Buddha found enlightenment by
sitting under the Bodhi tree
I have witness trees take the worse that Nature
can dish out when they are split in half and they still choice to live
Trees are life
and trees are the Tree of Life
If you come across a dead tree on the ground surface
then man took its life or the tree time was up naturally
Long live trees
