Big Oak Tree in the Middle of Town

Big oak tree in the middle of town
i wonder how long you've been around
your roots morphed into
what looks like a
large solid fist hitting the ground.

You've been around for years
seen more than we can imagine
always standing strong
never making a sound
bound in one spot.

Silent watcher
i see you standing there
just as the generations before me
over looked your beauty
your wisdom
your silent suffer.

Big oak tree in the middle of town
i wonder how long you've been around
your roots morphed into
what looks like a
large solid fist hitting the ground.
Tired of what you hear in this world..
sick of the horrible sounds.

Here you will stand big tree
until the corrupted human race
over looks you
and cuts you down..
then you will get to make your noise
the sad song of an ancient tree
hitting the ground..
for a reason not profound.
