A green bud I was on a slender twig, The sun opened me with a loving touch; Soft and silky I fluttered in the wind, Clouds floated gaily over my green couch. As Nature's cook I nurtured this world, My canopy shaded your bare heads; You pull, pluck and tear me at your whim Oh! where your greed and cruelty leads. Detached by time from my mother tree I lie on your path wreathing in pain; Your foot squeezes out my last blood drop Oblivious you revel over your gain.
