The Sign
If there were no trees;
Who would provide the traveler?
With shade and shelter:
Were there was no P N Bank;
The sigh of trust and surety:
To whom could you go?
The way we cut trees,
Let FI's swindle funds from the gullible,
Can we be alive?
Just a display sign;
Take care like the tree or the bank
There is no solace.
Terms used:-
FI’s = Financial Institutions
