Not All That Glitters

We’re all sitting in the shade of civilisation,
dwarfs on the shoulders of giants,
and it’s not the trend provides the motivation,
it’s tradition makes us all compliant.
So here’s to Mr Moneybags Buffet,
the trees of the forest got there alone -
not all plantations get to tough it,
lets be grateful we didn’t plant stones.

Prompt: “Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”
- Warren Buffett
