The best time to plant a tree
Life is so fragile it’s like a piece of liquid silk
We touch it and our dreams all fade away into its milk
Scared to love or speak our minds in case we may offend
We gently gender re-assign so no-one need pretend
We have to learn to love each other... this will not go away
We’re all God’s children in this pool of messed up DNA
Poets only have to sense a seraphs pain to feel bereft
But man will not be happy until he’s the only species left
Chinese proverb
The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago; the next best time to plant a tree is now
