Vietnamese Tank
Beloved friends recounted they'd seen
a palm tree growing up and through
the top of an abandoned tank in
Vietnam.
Mother Earth reclaiming scarlet bloodsoaked
battlefields turning them green. When
left unmolested she grows trees everywhere.

Footnote:
The Sahara desert it is said was created
by Roman shipbuilders' deforestation.
There is a story of a king who was ill and
told by a traveling sage that in order
to be healed he should look upon the color
green. The king ordered workmen
at great expense, effort and time, to
paint everything in the kingdom green.
Several moons later, the sage returned
witnessing the color everywhere. He
said to the king "Would it not have been
better to wear green glasses?"
The above story of the king was narrated
in https://sssbpt.info/english/sss.htm
It would seem that only Mother Earth
can nonviolently create green everywhere.
