Olive Tree
The Olive tree spreads its roots deep into the land,
Its longevity and resilience have allowed it to stand
It bears the gift of sustenance, the Olive and its gold
The splendor, the children of the land behold
Lives are formed around the tree,
Reveling in its generosity
Through their endurance, the branches share their past,
Ever so changing, the present contrasts
The wind blows the leaves, but the sound is distorted
A chaotic symphony played inside the orchard
Those who scorn the land act with malice
In search of power, their actions callous
The trees echo the noise surrounding
The children of the land, their screams resounding
The Olive tree, a symbol of hope towers
Emblazoned in fire, impelled to cower
