I try hard to shelter
Growing by the wind, sun and rain
And balancing what is most always available
All for the sake of tired and worried yous
But you pierce at your own times
Forgetting that I live
Piercings that are painful and dreadful
Piercings and cuttings that none wants to experience
Forgetting that I can live
Yes, there! I weep, the trees weep too
No matter my size and how strong I seem
I also weep
Medicine or not, think before hurting me
That person that needs me must appease me
With good health
And my body should belong to me if there is no need
Continuous harm without reason is pure brutality
