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.
