[QUOTE="TrevorLeMayRambles, post: 281589, member: 2947"] The Tallest Tree A tall standing oak Appearing in majesty The appearance of life abundant But there is a cancer Deep beneath its mighty boughs Rotting inside its marble bark Where it stands Once there was a field Flowers drank freely from the ground But the oak stole all the water Now all under its shadow is desolate In all its glory Its roots where not deep And when a storm starts rising Its branches will moan with the wind What pride can it stand in? What truth lives amongst its green leaves? Slave to its growth, but without foundations Its greed never held nutrition The tree will fall in the forest And everyone will be around to hear it The nations will weep when the east winds prevail [/QUOTE]
