The Lemon Tree

We came to the lemon tree

Our bitter seeds did fall

Arriving at an unexpected twist

We never knew at all

Whence our banquet table is no longer full

Closed off from society, alas this new rule!

But do we respect nature enough,

Are we willing to

Leave it alone for a while?

Yea, humanity took greedily more and more

Every time one walked out the door

Wishing to heal,

But a wish in vain

Unless we meet with Mother Earth

Ask her forgiveness, make a deal

Drink up the whole truth

We were never needed

And that’s very real
