Suddenly the wind went swoosh, swoosh! Violently through the young guayacan's branches
The chilly and sunny weather wasn't there anymore
Crows where everywhere, flying in the stormy sky
Foreshadowing something the tree wouldn't ever know
The tree, as brave as a lion, asked the sky
"what are you doing sky? Are you trying to bring another universal flood to drown us all?"
Kindly, the sky replied "I'm trying to help you all, for I cannot stand any more suffering"
The tree grew angry "your explanation is as clear as mud" replied bitterly
The sky, as kind as it could be, replied
"I feel great pain every time I look down and see
The way they torture and kill animals
The way they pollute water and air
The way they destroy and burn everything
Horrifies me, and I grow sadder and sadder every day
Tell me, young tree, would you prefer to have a sunny day
While your brothers and sisters suffer, I bet you do
For anyone who hasn't been through pain, won't understand others pain
Lucky you, a young tree growing in a privileged area, well taken care of
But there are so many creatures suffering every day, every second
And if I have to make it rain
until I drown the whole world
In order to give you all a new beginning, then I will.
