If I Were a Tree

Were I a tree, I would from the worldly pleasures and treasures remain free, I would be unmoved by the calamities (rain, earthquake, flood) of life, Providing fruit to the beggars or poor I would their tears wipe. I would prevent soil erosion and pollution, I would to mankind give all problems solution. Were I today not there on this earth, Man would starve for food since their birth. I attract rain clouds to bring rain I give everyone happiness but who does realise my pain? For his own interests he cuts me down, I am cut into pieces and in agony I groan!
