How many times should a tree be saved
Bearing fruit both bitter and depraved?
Growing fallow and spreading disease
How many times saved for such as these?
As many as a dozen, to whimsy, as needed?
How many times ere the plot is reseeded?
How many fruits could have grown sweet and plump
If we had cut down this tree and burned the stump?
But you ask one more chance for this barren twig
Which has on its branches not a single fig
Alright, one more, just one more year
And if there's no fruit, I'll make it clear
It shall be cut down and every fiber shall burn
And another tree shall be given its turn
God bless,
>P<
