Untrustable humans

My mother said my childhood would be hard

she said the giants will be of danger

she said I must grow strong

She said strong like rock

and so I listened

 

My friends the wind said they would help

they'll carry the water to me

they'll move the clouds for me 

they'll keep the air cool for me 

And so they did

 

the ground beneath told me they'll support me

they told me they'd hold me when I fall 

they told me I'll be unreachable

they told me they won't ever let me down

and so they tried

 

The giant told me they will help me grow

they would feed me

they would give me a nice home

they said they could be trusted

but they did not

 

and so my mother wept

and so the ground regret

and the wind upset

but the giant never cared 

as I layed a sapling dead
