One thousand years.<br>
A millenium.<br>
The history of man has changed<br>
People lived, and fell.<br>
But one being,<br>
One living organism,<br>
Out-lived history.<br>
Saw more saddness and happyness than any man.<br>
A tree.<br>
Tall and proud,<br>
But respectfull and lonley.<br>
Its leaves wisper the story<br>
Of its lonley life<br>
The people that sat under it,<br>
Fought under it,<br>
Loved under it.<br>
The history of man<br>
Sung from its lonley branches,<br>
The knowledge of nature<br>
carved on its proud bark<br>
Imagine what will happen if it talked<br>
If its bark preached the knowledge,<br>
And the leaves teached history.<br>
Why cant man listen<br>
To this old, lonley tree?<br>
Because even after one thousand years,<br>
Man has yet to speak.
