What am I?! (Poem dedicated to the Green Day)
Poem
What am I ?
I was too small,
Too tiny too prone,
Too overwhelmed by darkness
So I seeked for light,
And then it shone on my tiny little vein,
The warmth made me forget all the pain,
My body was too small too sleek,
Having two tiny greens,
As the sunlight shone they are now grown,
I was still too tiny to be seen by them all,
But even so I had few friends who could still see my tiny body back then,
As time went by I grew up high, tall and wide,
As I shed my leaves my trunk got firmer with a new pairs of Greens, it got warmer.
With each passing day my growth took place,
Even those who didn't knew me started noticing,
As I stood there without a single complaint,
I grew and grew even with all the crowd
I grew and grew and now I am proud,
I grew up higher, taller and wider with a sturdy body and beautiful crown.
I made new friends,
Now, I feel happy and content,
So many things has changed since then,
As the crowd grew around me,
I give them the shade, I give them food,
I provide them air, I provide them shelter,
I made soil softer, I made air cleaner,
I provided them water through my roots.
I provided them with so many needs!
And yet they are oh so Greedy!
Even after everything,
Why must you do this to me?
I provide you with all kind of medicines,
Protect you from poisons and infections,
Oh! Then why?
Why must you do this to me?
Your chemicals have destroyed my veins,
My body is no longer the same,
Even after everything I've never once complained,
And now your greed knows no bound,
You are after my life, with those cold eyes,
You didn't give it even a single thought as you cut my trunk with that indifferent attitude of yours,
Oh Why? Oh Why?
Why must you do this to me?!
Oh! Tell me why?
Just tell me why?
What do you think I am?!
What do you take me for?!
Am I not just like you all?!
Tell me why?!
Oh Why? Oh Why?
Why must you do this to me?
Just tell me why?
What am I?!
