Invasion

My sap runs down my bark
As insects devour
Me from the inside
If I am not saved
My body will crumble
As desert sand in
My leafy hands
I feel the comforting
Feeling as my roots
Connect with others
Around me
I feel my mum
Giving me life
As I warn the others
About the deadly insect
Inside me.
