There it stands
But not really
It’s a tree without legs
A rootless tree

A rare sight in wild
Something that shouldn’t survive
Yet still it does and thrives
Showing off a crown of lush green

But how and why?
Something that’s so beyond reason?
Maybe, maybe not
You see, it’s not alone

Another tree stands by its side
Complete with healthy roots
And sturdy trunk, which it uses
To support its friend in need

Humans, I think, are similar
We survive because we band together
We thrive because we grow together
So why must we fight?

Let’s all be like the healthy tree
And share our roots,
With our brothers and sisters
So they can survive as well

And thrive!
Like that rootless tree.
