Why do you hate the ginkgo tree?
As it stands there all alone
Why do you hate the ginkgo tree?
When it hasn’t done you wrong
Why do you hate the ginkgo tree?
When they had no place to go
Will you hate the ginkgo tree?
When this tree is not enough
Why do you hate the ginkgo tree?
When it only wants room to grow?
When it’s settled in its roots and called this stolen land home?
Will you question every ginkgo tree?
For every single slight?
Have they harmed you with their fruit?
Or tripped you with their wild roots?
Yet who handles where they are placed?
Only to complain that they take up too much space.
Yet who handles where they are placed?
