Under This Large Tree

African Baobab, from FreePlants

Under this large tree—
The thought of all thoughts are intruders
The items of living and
not only the price of living
just as wars are taking large places and
people run to live because others say, Run!

Under this large tree
It is not one thinking that
Fights to conquer only one mind,
They are many like the unspoken and unenforceable
Realities, ideologies, and a whole madness like
The senseless beheading of little plants because you have a machete
And uprooting their parents to make them embrace the cruelty but,
Under this very large tree!
Are larger dreams like nearby sweet streams
Of Amagu Umulokpa.
