The Farmer

I loved you like I'd never stop
And you kept me alive just like a crop
But winter simply came too soon
Yet you'll not starve over my death, come June
Never shall I forget the harvest
Nor when you went inside to rest
I am alone, perhaps I'll grow
But if I fought for life, you'd never know
Selfish farmer, you do not see
It's not just water, it's light and bees
I am not a one-factor commerce plant
I don't serve one purpose like dirt or ants
I feed your body as well as your bank,
If not for me, your land would tank
I am your foundation, but you are blind
As I am not worth life like your kind
Belittle my being, but my soul is not dead
If you think you can kill me, go right ahead
The impact I've made on everyone and you
Is invisble but large, for my words ring true
I'd harvest myself before you ever could
And though you deny it, you know I would
You're the loneliest man I've ever seen
For your soul is brown and you envied my green
