Complicated days
Complicated days
Branches soak in kerosene
the tree limps as it sways
Weighed down crooked by the end
it breathes deep sighs of relief
as lightning strikes a spark at last
and roasts each twig and leaf
But its tip is not a wick
its trunk not a candle
it does not stay alight gently
to serve as an example
Complicated days
Complicated days
Branches explode out in flames
the tree roars as it sways
