Just a Tree -------------------------------------------
I try not to be
Just like that tree
That held the rope of injustice
To keep our place in society
We excuse our notoriety
Quiet is kept
Slighted by it
But I’m only just a tree
I didn’t put you on my branch
I didn’t let you go either
For it’s not my place to take sides
Your plight is a plight once mine
It’s easier just to stay unbiased
And pretend that my moment is all that matters
But what’s wrong is wrong
So why is your corner so far
To share in a battle once won
Why won’t I embrace you like a brother
God wants the best for all his children
I guess its easier being a tree
A silent conspirator with justifiable reasons
For it’s not my rope and I’m just a tree
It’s not my fault so find no fault in me
I’m just a tree, that’s right just a tree.
A special piece... written as an observer to life rather than an active player in it.
I like the way you keep the story all the way through and the thoughts it brings out, its a very interesting piece... I like it. Its good.
