There was a very old tree
as tall as the heavens, it seemed
with roots reaching down
into the depths of the earth
the old tree had grown strong since birth
and stood tall through the centuries
surviving storm after storm
and fire after fire
this old tree had battled disease
and battled drought
and there was no doubt
that this tree could survive anything
that came it’s way
until one day a strange animal came along
with a loud machine
and cut down the old tree
and as the old tree fell to the earth
it couldn’t see
because trees don’t have eyes
but it realized that it had fallen
on the strange animal
and killed it
but the old tree wasn’t happy about this
because it never wanted to hurt
any living thing
it only ever wanted
to be a tree,
and it got to be…
and there is no moral
to this story.
