You never seem to be in peace. Your branches bend as though in pain as I listen to your sounds of wain I weep because I cannot sleep nor will I ever be in peace I weep for the babies crying in pain innocent victims of humanity’s shame caught up in man’s selfish games. Oh woe is me as I stand still I would help the world if nature gave me the will But I am just a tree standing still If I could move I’d give them love, and even give their mothers hugs But it hurts me so, just to know that I can do nothing, to cure their woes. I look at you, with limbs that move and wonder to myself, what if I were you? Oh how I wish I could be you for just one day, a moment or two. I would not be still, I would get involve I would make sure the world would hear me cry “foul!” Where is humankind, what has happened to love, where is compassion or just giving hugs? How can you sleep with the world in despair have you no soul, no heart to share? Oh woe is me as I stand still I would help the world if nature gave me the will But I am just a tree.. …standing still. Copyright C.H. 2008 [Edited 7/20/08 14:23pm] Well writen...good stuff.

We live in a culture that discourages empathy. A culture that too often tells us our principle goal in life is to be rich, thin, young, famous, safe, and entertained.
