The Tree of Life
James Vincient Johnson 1952 (Algoma WV)
The Tree of Life
I have heard talk about the Tree of Life
It was somewhere in the Garden of Eve
Supposedly
I have often wondered why it wasn’t kept
To rid these modern-day ailments
Permanently
If this particular tree existed back then
What would happen if I found it again
Honestly
Would we be better with the tree
Or free to be still blind to Thee
Obviously
About this poem
If we never unite we will never find positive solutions.
