Tree of Wealth

Emblazoned clearly on a hill
Gleaming in the setting sun
What should be moving, oh so still
Wealth and nature become one

A tree of jewels

Obsession cut the panicked run
I never thought of theft again
Relinquishing the tempting fun

A tree of wealth
with warning sign
A danger to my needed health
I to my losing fate resign

Ice replaces blood

Trying to save
One that wants
to hurt
I know the future
It’s dark

Want to warn
but cant
Silent agony
Always mocking
