Dying Tree
I'm just a twig to them,
I shelter them,
Feed them,
I give them all that I have.
They come right up to me with their tools that look like utensils,
Knock me down,
And strip me bare,
Like the tall, slim element-that I am not
There is no bright bedazzling light anymore,
There is no view that is less appealing,
Than feeling yourself swaying left and right.
Crumbling and falling into darkness.
I am dying,
My days on Earth are at an end.
Have they not realized that I was godsend?
Are they not thankful for me?
They do not see what they have become,
It is just a duty for them.
They're in so deep,
That they don't even notice that their making a mistake.
