The world's last tree

The world's last small tree
Stands in the corner of a house.
There are no leaves on the tree
There is no food or water
There are not other trees
The world's last weak tree
Is for enterntainment
It is for humans to laugh at,
To jeer at,
To sneer at.
"How pathetic, a little tree
Useless for everything.
I've never seen anything so weak".
The world's last dying tree
Remembers her sisters and brothers.
Tall and strong, graceful and elegant.
But they were hacked down and chopped down and hammered down
Knackered down and whacked down and thwacked down.
The world's last moribund tree
Makes its final stand.
