TREE

On this lost,
                 wandering,
                                   cold earth
Wherever you cast a glance,
You see sadness and hatred,
You see fear and pain.

Lifting its head high
Towards the sun,
The tree seems to be saying:
“One should,
                       sometimes,
Cast a glance at the sky!”

Mahmud Kianush
