The Tree of Thought

 The Tree of Thought ~ A Poem about Divergence of Thought

A thought is always issued in one way

It is a singularity, only one idea per thought

Like a tree when it is born as a sapling

It is only the trunk that is born

Thought in verisimilitude is born similarly

But as a sapling grows it's  branches appear

A singularity becomes a divergence of thoughts

Then as the tree grows more branches appear 

More divergent thoughts are born

They are the progeny of more divergence

Divergence leads to confusion

Divergence leads to conflict

Conflict leads to violence, chauvinism & sorrow

What is right and wrong is the question 

The questions lead to more confusion

The tree grows old and the parasites come

The tree decays and it dies 

But before this a sapling is born

A new thought, lets see it grow
