The Tree Poem by James Timothy Jarrett

The Tree



The tree of liberty
Thirsts again
She stands
In parched soil
Drought has fallen
Upon her
Dust gathers
On her limbs
Free men gather
To water
Her roots
And bring her
Life giving sustenance

' The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. ' Thomas Jefferson
