Poem
I woke up this morning with no intended plan I had no clue as to where I will go next, But I felt bold and strong like superman I am tired of the East and I am weary of the west But I am still a tree and I have to do my best. I am more than just a palm tree planted on the side of the street I am more than just a palm tree with damage roots and dry hanging leaves I am more than just a palm tree that has survive the drought, the shout and the blackout I am not just a tree with a trunk, branches and crotches I am a tree with strong roots anchored in the ground and I know that you are around Here I am staring out my hotel window looking at myself with thick long branches, big trunks, and leaves that covers the ground I am rising, and spreading myself over the world bearing fruits with succulent juice Tall building waving in the sky bearing the weight of yesterday They too have a story that is painted in glory It is the season when everything comes with a special reason Restaurants and shop leaning on the corners, just waking up from the Monday morning mass Long line of traffic flowing in the street, and here I am behind the musky curtain looking out at thee I am more than just a tree with leaves and roots I am a tree with a message and every day I have to commute Oh the silver car is back again and the four doors are open I wonder what message they are trying to send I closed the curtain and peeped through and the woman in black was mimicked something while looking in the car I could not read what she was communicating Was she trying to tell me something? Or was she airing out the car? I could not understand if she was telling me to come, Maybe she was saying that something is done Or someone wants to talk with me privately Oh she could be saying that someone is leaving Or was it that someone has been set free, Only if I could understand what is brewing Although I find it quite amusing After all I am just a tree standing on my moral ground and I don’t know where I am bound I am more than just a tree with overgrown roots I am still standing tall and looking cute All types of birds find refuge in me Because I always make them feel happy They sing, they dance and I entertain them Birds flying from nest to nest looking for a perfect place to rest so they come to me I am more than just a tree that entertain the crowd Every day I listen to their stories and share their worries The unfaithful husband romancing with hotel strippers And cheeky Politician's slandering their opponent at restaurant dinners I am just a tree that has stood up to the test of time And I am going to claim what is mine I am a tree with strong roots that does not pollute I am planted here but my roots runs everywhere So you better beware, I am only a tree
