Full green leaves flourish
Flowers bloom beautifully
Full, fresh fruit forms
Untouched fruit is plucked and devoured
Unique leaves fall and crumble
Undesirable fruits rot and fall
Crunch
Crunch
Crispy leaves are trampled
Kept,
Kicked, or
Killed are the fruits of the tree
Young children twist and break its branches
Yellow fruits rot and turn brown. The tree has decided.
Yes, it has decided not to bloom next year
On the day it does not give you fruit, will you chop it down
Or leave it to rot, like one of its unwanted gifts to you?
Oh, it knows you'll no longer "love" it, despite what it's done for you.
Unloved,
Under-appreciated. Why should it bloom for you?
Unbearably lonely, the tree will bloom one more year so it doesn't have to be alone.
