The Voice Of A Tree

Hello! My name is “tree”,

emerging out of a seed,
grateful to the man that set me free,
kind to the beings that I feed.

Fixed I stand, wondering around
a lively dullness surrounds my ground,
sheltering the ones that lay at my land,
none thanking me, still multifunctioning I stand.

Million are the purposes I serve,
providing life with love,
turning myself as one desires,
providing aesthetic value like a beautifier.

Absorbing the noxious gases,
protecting the large masses,
I existed prior mankind’s birth,
and still lay as the soul of the Earth.

Shielding trillions of lives day and night,
having a unique life by my side,
will there ever be an end to human’s greed?
and a cease to my countless bleed.

I see some woodcutters at a distance,
and there terminates my existence,

“is this what we get for our eternal service” I said 

and at the next second, I lay dead.
