Tree of Desire

The tree of desire
Is the one in the forest that never catches fire

It comes and takes many kids lives
They will be locked up or killed before many see thier husbands and wives

It is the one many seek for
It will cause nothing but family to see you sore

The tree is known by many names
It will get you one way or another, it will take its claims

It will get you in many ways or just one way
By our friends or parents, it depends on what they say

Don't fall victim to this tree the call weed
If you do all it will do is feed

Fire is usually symbolic for desire. I like how you changed it up. -One love my friend
