Lifeless

I'm a lifeless tree,

To this, the human population agree.

 

I can't talk

Neither can I walk.

'Lifeless' regarded am I

Can't be lively as much as I try.

 

Seeing those birds fly so high

How much, I want to soar the sky!

But, stuck to the ground, here I lie.

'Lifeless' regarded am I

Can't be lively as much as I try

 

I do not have flowers as friends,

For the beauty they could lend.

Green leaves are filled in me,

And what I get to hear is, "Oh, look at that boring

tree!"

'Lifeless' regarded am I

Can't be lively as much as I try

 

I do not have any voice

I need it not to make any noise

But to make others know what I want

Oh, how I wish to be their haunt!

Lifeless' regarded am I

Can't be lively as much as I try

 

My Fellow trees are lucky enough

No matter they're so rough

The Jacaranda next to me flowers

The Raven Spruce is liked just because he towers

Lifeless' regarded am I

Can't be lively as much as I try

 

But that no longer bothers me

For the deep roots I have that they can't see.

It matters not I'm not cherished

My observance make these thoughts perished.

 

I will stand strong

Will stay alive and firm for long

I'll always welcome my shadows

And neglect the way the wind blows

 

I'm a lively tree

No matter what the human population agree.
