Many branches

from the top

have grown;

one, be my own.

Some were cut down;

even my very own.

Those that were cut,

were cut by the knife of strife…

and had to makes tracks

to never look back.

Eventually my branch

 needed to be seeded

somewhere worthy upon this earth

until new and stronger roots took hold,

for this once cut down branch

to have a surving chance

to branch-out and about

to scream and shout

“LOOK AT ME”

“MY FRUITS ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN,

THE WORMY FRUITS, IN THAT OLD DYING TREE”

This had to be done

in order to find a new place in the sun.

 There was no more room

on the old one

for a cut branch to bare it’s own special fruit.

The truth is the cut branch was smothered by all the rest

that blocked the nurturing rays of sunlight…

All the other branches concluded

the cuttings…(unwanted branches)

that were as good as dead.

So’ now,

to be part of that old family tree

there is no chance;

since gone forever

is the cutting down of every once connected branch!

It is really too bad the others had to soak up all the sun

when the smallest ones needed the sunshine the most!

It is really, too bad, the others felt they were

more worthy than even the Holy Ghost!

To all the branches cut down by the strife of knife

then had to take up root

to suit your life…

There is no need to look back.

Just keep on making tracks,

and remember…

it was not you that ruined the old tree;

it was they,

for they just wanted you out of the way!

 The truth is, they believed

your branch never had a chance.

But the time will come;

yes that is true…

when they will come to see

that you became all they never ever could be

and never will become,

because of all the old tree’s inablilities

to share with you your time in the SUN!
