FOR THE OKPOSIOS

THE GREEN TREES

Leaves are shed to make room for more
Beyond the norm and what the eye sees
It just might look like a simple open door
But through it many have found a new lease

What started like a flirting idea that might bore
Has become nectar attracting colonies of bees
Today, it sings as lyrics, tomorrow it will be law
Yet it disguises like what one would look upon and hiss

From deep within you have rummaged your core
Seeking to unlock the depth of others with the right keys
You have looked into the future and also picked from afore
Simply because you want no man to come to his knees

It’s worth the effort all that you both pour
‘Cos in many quarters it will be for serious fees
Yet you do it selflessly, abeg take am joor
Indeed, beyond Efelosophy, you are both green trees.
