The government is a tree
That bears fruit
A fruit that will be shared by the nation

Like any other tree
If the top gets infected by diseases
We need to cut it to save the tree
If its branches is manifested by diseases or insects
We need to cut it to save the tree
For the tree shall continue to live
And grow a new top, new branches
Fresher than the old, better than the old

But if the roots itself is rotten
Or its very core is eaten by worms
Then for that tree, there is no saving
We need to crop the good parts

Plant a new tree
Take good care of it
To make sure insects can no longer get to its core nor its roots
And just hope for a better tree to grow from it
And maybe that tree
That tree called the government
Will bear fruit that will make the nation prosper.
A tree like the government can only grow to be a good tree
not when its too high or as tall as the sky
not when its branches spreads throughout the land
but when it bears the best fruit that can be shared by the nation
to let the nation prosper. And for this to happen, the nation itself need to watch and take are of that tree on its growth ever since it is planted.  Both the nation and the government should grow together.
