Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
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.

not all plantations get to tough it,
lets be grateful we didn’t plant stones.
Line count: 8

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