Poem
Your sharp blade, your crushing strikes, O axe! Cut me not!  
         Allow my life reach its climax, cut me not, cut me not!

 My feeble life’s still in my body’s confines
          My difficult breathing under the canopy of skies
          No sparkle of hope in my heart shines
 I am lonely and sad, in my eyes nothing but despair lies
  
 The wine of moonlight doesn't filter through my branch's sieve
     The fireflies illuminate not my lonely dark nights
     Chicks ‘ave flown; on my bow birds their deserted nests leave 
              No squirrel on my trunk, for its mate fights 
  
No butterfly dances on my arms bare
  No child builds earthen castles on my feet
A wanderer no more gets my shade’s care
         Soon I’ll myself fall and destiny meet
 
 A flash back of my deprived, neglected childhood
             Wasn’t I self-sprouting on a rugged desolate land?
Not behind my upbringing a caring gardener stood 
           Fierce winds and lightning lashed me unrestrained
 
                   Upon me fell the rays of the burning sun enraged
Inflicting wounds, ripping my bark and burning tender skin
       To destroy me was the object that kept each one engaged
  Clinging to the breast of my mother-earth suckling I begin
 
  
Lovingly the mother-earth held me to her bosom tight
                 Monstrous was the cruelty and tyranny unleashed
The cyclone of adversities engaged me continually in fight
          Every dagger pointing at me, every sword unsheathed
 
           
                  Thus, I grew up as a full-blown luscious tree
 The clouds welcomed my adolescence unfurling their hairs
  On my leaves the raindrops engaged in a dancing spree
  Not one from the host of trees my height and beauty bears
 
But, now isn’t the time to talk about the olden days
The claws of time mauled my physique, my dreams and my thought
            Listen to what my every sinking pulse prays
                                Cut me not, O axe! Cut me not, cut me not.
