How bright,
The moment I opened my eyes,

The sun greeted me welcomingly,
I was surrounded by loud noises from the forest,
As I grew taller,

As my branches extended,
As my body covered in green,

And as I bore fruits,
For my friends to eat,

There was never a moment where I felt lonely,
I was happy,
Until those human came,

They destroyed my home,
My friends,

Were cut,
Were shot,
Were killed mercilessly,

Forever gone,
And soon enough,

It’ll be my turn,
Sometimes I wonder,
What kind of sin had I committed,

Had my dear friends committed,
Are humans supposed to be this inhumane?

No matter how much I plea,
I beg,

I cry,
I mourn,
I’ll always be a powerless tree,

I hate it,
This powerless me.
