Rainbow Tree

By : Joash Thomas

I have many roots;

I have roots that run farther and deeper than the depths of the Earth.

My colors are more numerous than the brethren I have lost.

My colors and roots only grew.

I have felt the fertile grounds of the Babylonians.

I stretched my roots out into the Red Sea and looked upon Israel's Security.

My crimson red grew as the Native Americans fell and my Indian yellow bled into the Mongolian steppes.

I have many roots;

And my colors grew with Kings and Hughes.

My colors only grew.
