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✧))┛
