Old is (Fool's) Gold

Come ancient tree
You’ve been with us for too long
It’s time now ancient tree
To say goodbye
Say bye to the seeds
That you’ve left behind
Maybe one day
They’ll be fruitful
As you have been before
But no more
As you’re now an ancient tree
Arthritic branches
Trunks sagging in slippers
You’ve done nothing ancient tree
For the decades you have lived
Now it’s time for your retribution
Time to be cut and sawed
Time for you to add fuel
Add fuel to the hellfire
