A Tree

A Tree doesn’t shout out and speak Forth for lack of ability, but out of pure and dignified humility and
grace; as if mankind would listen anyway if one CHOSE to protest the injustices of the world.

But for honor and integrity does a Tree hold its tongue and its solemn position, firm, as a restless and
discontent world perpetrates change and chaos around it; sometimes violently removing it from its
venerable post – does it nevertheless CHOOSE to refrain from crying out, “Oppression!”

A Tree doesn’t simply sway involuntarily only when wind and breeze permit – but CHOOSES to dance to
its rhythm…
