The iroko tree has lost its place
chainsaw marks is seen between
fallen to the ground, a giant tree.
Its seed is left to grow alone
amongst harsh wind and scorching sun
still a determined cry is hatched within;
I will prevail! I will prevail!
A burst of courage through disaster
brings the lonely seed to its stand
firmly held onto the ground
taller than the other trees.
Determination finally paid off
patience at last has brought its fruits,
but wait a minute, what is this?
Another saw a foot away.
