The World Is a Thick Forest

The world is a thick forest
big trees, weeds, twigs, twines
growing together in confusion
but time is coming quite soon
only big trees that provide timber
only the ones that stand out strong
shall be facilitated to live
the weak and minority trees
the weeds and twines growing
shall be cut down and burned
to give way for the useful trees
to thrive and husband the forest
