Those Trees Loved Me Poem by Chan Mongol

2005

I wish I can go back to the past;
To restart at least, at last!
To seat down in the shadow;
In density of forest and meadow!

Where are those trees who knew me?
Who Used to dance and used to see?
My true neighbors, my trees;
To blow air, oxygen, and breeze!

My playmates, they were;
With joy, comfort and real care!
Fruits were snacks, here there;
Nowadays, such are rare!

Like parents they said, oh my son;
Under the hot Sun, do not run!
Don't heat up your good brain?
You will need it in pain, in rain!

Why fatigue, why suffer?
Whom showing you are tougher?
Save the energy for future use;
Protect it against abuse!

Heat can go in your head;
It is trouble, it is bad!
Sit on mat under our fan;
To trust them was my plan!

Do not run, under the Sun?
And headache is not a fun!
My friends really hosted;
When I used to be exhausted!

I wish I can go back to the past;
To restart at least, at last!
To seat down in the shadow;
In density of forest and meadow!

I knew, those trees loved me;
By seeing me they were happy!
Leaves used to speak and told hello;
They dropped fruits, ripe and yellow!

To fill me up totally complete!
To make my belly fit!
Heaven on Earth in that time;
Feature in Nature, used to be prime!

Trees used to say, lay down;
We are your relations in this town!
Come over to us, in our wild;
Let us sing to sooth you, child'!

Alas! They were slaughtered;
I lost them and they were butchered!
I cannot go back there, no more mates;
Friends were replaced with lifeless pirates!

It makes me speechless;
None is there to give me bless!
Stoned civilization is not fair;
Smog and pollution control the air!

I knew, those trees loved me;
By seeing me they were happy!
Leaves used to speak and told hello;
They dropped fruits, ripe and yellow!
