Bitter Orange

  1. bitter orange


    I was so small that
    they could hardly see me
    A stone - they called me

    I asked for sun and warm breeze
    to make me a grown up.

    and it all came out of the blue
    making me an orange orange

    I was a grown up
    looking at people's behaviours
    they used to talk to me a lot
    about the little petty things
    about money and work and technology they talked

    I did not understand a word
    could not imagine how poor a life they lead

    and then a strong wind came,
    all of a sudden, pulling me on the ground
    making my life a bitter - sweet symphony


    I was there on the ground
    totally confused
    sad


    I asked for sun and warm breeze

    I begged for hands
    that would take me home


    but noone bothered to look at me
    they kicked me
    for I was not a soft skin orange orange
    any more


    useless something
    o thee!
    I want back on my home tree!
