A tree cut down..

I saw a tree cut down today......
it was slowly sawed, bit by bit, from top to bottom and workers were using spades to try and uproot it from the ground
Mind you, it wasn't the small ikan bilis trees
It was a big one by the road side in front of a shopping mall
That tree would have seen some of us grown up
Heck, maybe even some of our parents!
and yet it is chopped down
It may had remembered us
but who can remember it?
i wanted to take a picture, but it was too far away (i was on the bus)
Maybe someone wrote something on its bark? who will bear witness to the script?
perhaps one day, a person that saw the tree nigh it was planted would walk pass
and maybe he would think, something is missing, but maybe he would just walk
and not remember that one bit of his life that had once looked down upon him
Who can hear the tree complain? if it could complain...
All i know is, it was uprooted...in a rather barbaric way
forced from the ground where it had rooted
where it had fed and drawn its nutrients
rooted

goodbye tree, though i have never noticed you before and never will have the chance too
maybe someone who remembers you one day will tell others of your existence
at least then your life would be meaningful eh?
