Survival.
Why do trees stubbornly struggle when blasted ?
Too rudely knarled, wind-bent yet alive,
ironized knuckles bear scars pummeled black.
Is it not proper we learn how such can survive ?
How do sunken rootlings become clinging claws ?
Fortress of foot-power gale\'s power fights
while every blast aims its limb-splitting force.
Yet a mere sapling, if rooted in Self-hood, revives.
As the days of a battle-wise moorland tree
so shall be the ways of victorious humanity.
