I drink this cup of water For maybe if I quench my thirst The dry hole in my chest might grow whole again They say if you pour water to a planted seed Life will sprout out of it But human flesh No matter how wet Is no place to sustain life The seed in me has never been so dead before
The world is filled with seeds All shapes, size and colors I want to be like the ripe ones Where their prosaic is pleasure, and breathing is bliss I want to be like the other trees around me Tall, green, powerful, and safe Bless this pure heart of mine for thinking it was possible to find life after death Like a tree when its branches are cut in the dead winter Like a tree that rises from its crisp brown death in the lively spring
Mother Nature, why are we not strong like trees? Why do we not possess the power to regrow our branches when it comes for us? Even my hair turns brown and dead And falls like leaves of autumn trees Yet unlike autumn trees I don't grow back what was lost Even when they snap my heart into pieces All that will be on the floor is pieces No part will become new again
Mother Nature, why do you lie to me? Why do you tell me that I am part of your divine when in truth I am wretched? Maybe that's why humans are so adamant about taking you apart Mixing and blending your parts Into little pieces of profit Into little pieces of power Our selfish revenge is inexcusable We know but our horrible judgement is what makes us human
I cried over this dry hole My tears are insufficient The seed remains dead And we remain malicious
