the mangosteen tree

Once I sat

Under a big mangosteen tree

Dozing off without a care of the world

Dreaming of a life I never knew

Then my neighbour woke me up

“Come we climb up the tree

There are mangosteen to pick”

“I don't know how to climb..”

So I was left behind

He climbed up like a monkey

He got the ripe mangosteen

He showed how good he was

I had to use a pole

The mangosteen fell to the ground

At least I had something than nothing

Till this day I couldn't climb up a tree

So it thought me a lesson

Each one has a destiny to fulfill

You had to find which one you could

Then make the best out of it
