The Mother Palm Tree

The Mother Palm Tree!
Cocos Nucifera Abiyamo Rere! Water She drinks from, Air that passes through her, And the Sun that made her babies green and beautiful, These three make her adulterous. And makes her gives birth to bastards. So green her babies after delivering them. And they are always in thousands. With almost like strands of rope, Are the branches She backs them on. These babies survive, get strong and increase in size, With their Father’s nutrient. The Mother palm tree never drops her babies, Within the duration of Twelve months of backing them. The air released from there Mother’s long feathers, And the gentle breezes from the sky, Gives life to the Coconut from there nostrils. Raindrops from the sky, Water consistently thrown to the depth by a Samaritan, While the liquid the Mother released from her depth, Keeps the baby coconuts fresh. A baby which faulty, The Mother releases it, And allow the wilderness to beat it. When the coconut starts getting brown, The mother releases them to fend on its own. It is just funny to say that the end of a coconut Is always ended in a sad note? From the way the Mother drops it, From the way the sun blasts it? From the way the husk is removed from it, From the way the shell is broken off it? From the way the water within is thrown away? These make the coconut to have a tragic end. What am I saying so far is an Oxymoron, To our lives. But if we live wisely, our will end well. Written By; ADEBAYO, Busayo
