A tree's pride

A tree at a hilltop
standing proud above all others
"I am the tallest and the oldest
I am your lord and master
I am the king of trees
When men cut you down
I shall wonder at the patience of mother nature
I will laugh and dance over your dead bodies"

And then came the winter
and one night
when the sky was black
and the clouds where dark
A cataclysm begun
rain all over the world
lakes and rivers flooded

"I am the tallest and the biggest
I am the oldest and the strongest
The wind cannot touch me
and the water cannot drown me
when you are drowning
I will be laughing and dancing above your dead drown bodies"

Two clouds collided
thunder and lightning shook the grounds

And then came light
Lightning stoke the proud tree
It was the tallest and the biggest
the best torch ever to be litten
The water did not reach it to take away the flames
And the rain was to weak to extinguish the fat colored flames

The tree died by holy fire
before the cataclysm ended...

Hubris is always payed back...
An arrow will hit your Achilles' heel
and that fat, raw dirty mouth of yours
will stop winning...

FOREVER.....
