Call of Nature

I am at one with myself I am the tree trunk that grows from the ground As the branches and twigs move when the wind blows I myself remain robust Extentions of my life break off and die Or just exist to practice irrelevance Accepting I am the livelihood to willing dependants And therefore needed suggests a great responsibility And requires an even greater sense of commitment, Patience and empathy from oneself In the unfortunate circumstance I should grow weak and fall Those who also rely upon my strength will topple alongside So it would be in their best interest To seize being deadweight and endevour to unify efforts In the never ending hope of longevity I will stand as tall as I can for as long as I can But can not guarantee my position When mother nature takes course And hits me with all that she has Such a pitty my proposal will fall onto branches and twigs Whom of course have no ears so do not hear me Leaving me to haul deadweight alone for as long as I'm capable A twig is but a twig, a branch is but a branch A group of branches and twigs aiding my life long mission To be the tallest, strongest tree in the whole of the land Shall render any force formed against me as inadequate And lead us onto an inevitable path to prosperity To those that do hear what I have to say I bid you farewell and leave you with a thought or two Whilst I make like a tree and leaf
