I saw palm trees
Reaching for the sky’s protection
They begged and dropped coconuts…
The sky kept moving further away
Saying it had to stay impartial.
It needed to be an individual entity
Disconnected from trees and
(even birds)
The sky was in a fight with mother nature
And coconuts splashed open
And got pedestrians’ feet wet.
“Why won’t you help me?!”
“I must return my power,
if I helped you, I would have
to help everyone.”
‘So the brave trees replied.
“So help everyone.”
“I never thought of that.”
