Bitter is the acorn
Poisonous to those who do not know its inner workings

Cute almost, in the early stages of life
Trying to survive in a world polluted with beings of strife

Majestic and beautiful with age
Coveted in ancient times, thought of as a sage

For one who love an acorn can confirm for me
You cannot just love the tree

You must first understand what truly makes it green.
