Akin to a tree with no shade, A branch with no fruit , It stands tall with no weight , A husk with no shade . Promised the men, "The tree to provide shade, To those who eat the fruit" . With only fruits to be imaginary, Men stand staring , Into the empty husk . If a dove to approach , If a dove to question ,the 'fruits', “The dove to be lit up " ,said the men, “It harms the tree “, said the men, " The Luscious tree cannot be fathomed, As it not be questioned by simple minds " ,said the men. The simple minded crow, To pray for its shade . For no seem found ,For men still stares. Stares he at the fallen branches , Of a tree with no fruits.

A tree with no fruits
Akin to a tree with no shade, A branch with no fruit , It stands tall with no weight , A husk with no shade . Promised the men, "The tree to provide shade, To those who eat the fruit" . With only fruits to be imaginary, Men stand staring , Into the empty husk . If a dove to approach , If a dove to question ,the 'fruits', “The dove to be lit up " ,said the men, “It harms the tree “, said the men, " The Luscious tree cannot be fathomed, As it not be questioned by simple minds " ,said the men. The simple minded crow, To pray for its shade . For no seem found ,For men still stares. Stares he at the fallen branches , Of a tree with no fruits.
I initially started writing this with a belief of agnosticism . After finishing it I realised the fruit doesn't have to be the "promise of salvation " It can just be any unfulfilled promise. Any unfulfilled promise that men try to keep alive cause they benefit from the ignorance of people like the crow. A dove initially in my mind was a heritic during the 18th century where they were lit up for questioning or going against catholic Church. But in the end I realised it could be just about anyone who questions a stupid promise. The shade is supposed to represent comfort in the fruit. Hope you had a good read . And let me know if you throught this had any other interpretations according to you. (┛✧Д✧))┛
