the world is a tree
a tree at the end of the road
with the sun trying to rise behind it
a tree with a million branches
a million twisted branches
wrong branches twisting around the right branches
before the tree can grow
and the sun come up behind it
the wrong branches must be cut off and cut out
so that the good branches can grow
on the earth there are many beasts
noble beasts like lions and tigers and elephants and gorillas
and ignoble beasts like humans and monkeys and hyenas and termites and slugs
who leave a trail of wrong behind them
before the tree can grow
and the sun come up
and the rain fall on the desert
and the rivers flow down the mountain
every wrong must be righted
every single wrong must be righted
