The tree of wisdom, <br />once proud and tall, <br />now a shadow of its former self. <br /> <br />Amber tears roll down its trunk, <br />falling to the now baren ground. <br /> <br />Knowledge once sought far and wide, <br />is now forsaken. <br /> <br />In this desolate place, <br />the great tree of knowledge, <br />is left to die.<br /><br />Mandy Lee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forsaken-knowledge/
