Life is like a tree

life is like a tree
them, us, you and me
open your mind
and you will see

we are all connected
we were born on the same day
separated by  branches
we have migrated away

nature and  the environment
our bodies from the earth
if it wasn’t for water
we would still be dirt

our origin is a mystery
we come from a magical seed
we are of different colors
but we are all the same breed

life is like a tree
as delicate as can be
harm one of the branches
you harm the entire tree

life is like a tree
them, us you and me
open up your mind
and you will see
