HAVE IT ALLS

I guess they are the monkey puzzle

So they can afford to live with thirst

I know they are the monkey puzzle

What is this weak tree to do?

I think they will live forever and they know it

Have they never thought of the tree cutters?

Have they never thought of huge animals?

Have they never thought of excessive bush fires?

Then why do they behave as though they will always have their beautiful leaves?

I am just a plant

But must they always remind me of how short my lifespan is?

I know

So why do they throw salt bitter and salt with pepper water in my eyes?

At this point, I wish I were blind.
