An Ode To Kindness

What if we add a pair of lungs to the trunk of a tree?

Do you think it'll breathe in oxygen as we do?
What if we replace the roots with a long set of nerves?
Do you think it'll bleed?
What if we put fingers for branches?
Do you think they'll physically move?

Now, what if we invert the situation?

Do you think we could survive?
-taking in carbon dioxide
-holding our weight to the ground through roots or
-having branches for fingers?

Sounds horrifying, doesn't it?

But that's exactly what we, as humans do to our environment.

We disrupt nature, to settle and ask for peace
Un- home ages-old residents of green, to build a statue

Do you think they cuss us for any of it?

I think not.
As a child, I used to hear stories of kindness from my grams
Once I asked its origin,
She said she learned it from her ancients
Being a kid, my curious self asked where do they originate it from..?
And after much thought, she said "from trees"
She described them as the most giving creatures on the planet
That was the first time when I planted a sapling

They are indeed the kindest.

I believe that most of the core values a human is ought to have do originate from greens.
But how do you instill in yourself something you uproot?
THINK NOW
ACT NOW!
