POETRY: ROOTS (EDITORIAL): D DOMINGUEZ (INS BY PABLO NERUDA)

Examining the branches of a magnificent tree
Wondering how strong it must be because of its sturdy roots
I thought long and hard how people, too, need robust roots in order to survive
The roots are the absolute foundation of everything and everyone
However, if someone comes along and damages the roots,
Then the entire structure will die
The entity might not collapse right away
But, slowly the magnificence of it all will die a poignant death
It will be all alone
Instead of the splendor that it was all cast in colors too beautiful for words
The marvelous edifice, like a person, will cease to exist—
Pillaged of all its grandeur
We all must die, but it should never be through the fault of deliberate negligence
