the trees

there is unrest in the forest
there is trouble with the trees
the maples want more sunlight
but the oaks ignore their pleas

there is trouble in the forest
and the creatures have all fled
for the maples scream "OPPRESSION!"
but the oaks just shake their heads

so the maples formed a union
to force light for themselves
"the oaks just too lofty"
"we will make them give us light"

so the trees are all kept equal
by hatchet, axe and saw ...

- rush -

does this remind us of anything?

  1. mmmm this forest poem is really 'deep' man... can lead to a few intepretations.. a SKALIAN, potician, an economist or an activist will definitely have different interpretations. i suggest our agro guy (ayiek2603) to comment..

  2. Interesting facts about Thaipusam. Like fakha said in the last meeting, we live in the same country, and yet, we still lack of each others culture, religion and etc.

    Knowledge is still key to living together peacefully. Other than tolerance etc. As knowledge will lead to respect to others.

    Keep it up, Varan!

    p/s: Man, the poem is too..."deep"!!
