Nuthin’ but a Stupid Tree
A power saw rips through the tree
I hear it cry, I feel its plea.
Glazed eyes gleam with awestruck glee
while years come tumbling to its knees.
Inside my mind and heart I seethe
why is there no one here to grieve?
With nonchalance they walk away
and as they do I hear them say;
"Nuthin but a stupid tree
never did no good for me
It would have fallen anyway
when it died_someday."
