Poem Artwork

Each one is a bunch of wars

And truces, from time to time

Waged reasonably and without
 
Any good reason but flamed up

In one's bursting mind, like a flint.

 

Like a knotty and contorted
 
In the gusty wind cypress tree

With its blown out bare roots,

Each one clings to the rocky

And jaggy cliffs to be on time

For reproducing a plenty of cones.
 
 
What makes each one whose
 
Living conditions are so severe
 
Propagate well and be remarkable 

For longevity if not that gusty wind?

You got me thinking of North Korea. How it has weathered in spite of tremendous need.

As this poem rightly points out, there is something to be said for endurance and endurability. I have seen some of the toughest trees in the world right here in the desert with very little water, (and plenty of wind), yet somehow they not only survive but thrive. There is a lesson in that for us. Nicely noted here. John
