A Tree Who Watches Our Fateful History

I watch and watch as that’s all I can do
Having to stay here and not move
Watching those who fought together,
Now fight against each other
Battle after battle,
Watching the ground turn red,
From those who are now dead
The fighting just seemed to never end
And as more time came
It was just slain after slain
After witnessing so many battles and deaths
I felt as if I was in a loop
Having to watch the same scenario happen to these groups
Of these groups is always a leader who ascend,
One who always fights to the very end
Once this leader leaves this world,
A new one would take place
And continues this drastic chase
Not everyone was as brave as these leaders though,
As some would run away in fear,
Oh how shameful of them to disappear
When battles started to slow down
Lands were besieged, plundered, and destroyed,
This left me with a frown
But now, someone has taken the crown
A new king so kind,
Sharing his father’s treasures with those confined
A joyful gift for the poor,
How could they ask for anything more?
The new king has made a decision!
All the men are now out of prison!
What a shocking surprise,
But who’s to question the wise?
Now,
I watch and watch as that’s all I can do
Having to stay here and not move
