i am a tree
i am an observer
i do not speak
i listen and listen
and wait patiently
for something to witness
as i stand still silently
i see
war and
**** and
****** and
suicide and
all brutalities,
caused by
human nature
but i see
love and
joy and
character and
movement and
all endless possibilities,
caused by
human nature
i do not have a voice
i cannot move
i can only grow
higher and higher
closer to the sun,
i can only change
the colours of my leaves
to aware others
of new seasons
i provide oxygen
for all these infinite beings
and i do not know
how many years i will
be rooted here
as an insignificant
on-looker
