Complicated Days

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
