Nigeria (the Big Tree) by CChine(m): 1:01pm On Sep 30, 2018 |
[color=#006600][/color] THE BIG TREE (NIGERIA) Let the ancient men wash their mouth With a branch from this big tree For their prophecies has been fulfill in reverse For the Big tree produce big fruits they can't eat They say it's the biggest tree in the black forest Produce the highest number of fruits Harbour big branches on his heavy shoulder They say it's 58years old Even as big as it is, it can't be use as shade For the sun penetrate easily and hurt his roots for it can't protect is own The tree that was prophecy to feed the forest Is now been fed by the forest His branches are big, But yet are cut off by little birds Even the few healthy and enjoyable fruits Fall far from where the stem of where the tree stand while others feed on it The newly sprouting branches are new hope But they die even before been part of the tree The root keep going deep but supply pain to the tree The biggest tree is useless in the black forest This tree was once young and feeble The ancient men said as it grows old it will be stronger But the older he grows the weaker it becomes The big tree losses its healthy green leaves every seconds Will this tree survive years to come? For the tree enemy is the tree itself For those who are to save the tree destroy it For those who are to fertilize the tree are now weeds The tree is a year older again But just little has change And the change is more pain And the ancient men still give hope for a prophecy reversed. |
