It takes much time to kill a tree,

Not a simple jab of the knife

Will do it has grown

Slowly consuming the earth 

Rising out of it feeding

Upon its crust, adsording 

Years of sunlight air water,

And out of its leprous hide 

Sprouting leaves.

So hack and chop

But this alone wont do it.

NOt so much pain will do it 

The bleeding bark will heal 

And from close to the ground

Will rise curled green twigs,

Miniature boughs 

Which if unchecked will expand again

To former size.

FAQ

+ what is the poet name

GIEVE PATEL
Fear No More

Fear No More

  Fear no more the heat o' the sun.

Nor the furious winter's rages.

Thou, thy worldly task hast done.

Home art gone, and  te'en thy wages ;

Goiden lads and girls all must, 

As chimney-- sweepers, come to dust.
