I always think to myself, what does it mean
that somehow money grows on trees?
What about if something had reminded me of
the times I hated working for free?
I have been working, like
working nonstop.
This stubborn society working many hours
is part of something I never wanted as a job.
I came home to my family,
My wife and my daughter.
I tried to live a normal life,
but couldn’t afford to drink or have water.
I went to bed,
and then woke up one night.
I walked out of my poor home
and it was a tree which reminds me that everything is gonna be alright.
As I stayed outside for five minutes,
maybe even more.
I grabbed every dollar hanging from branches
and rushed to the door.
“Why are you up so early?”
His wife said, feeling concerned.
She looked at me, and I got an idea
that our poor home should be burned.
I didn’t know how a tree with money
would turn our lives around.
“Where did this money come from?”
The Wife said with an absurd frown.
My wife and I had an argument,
barely stressed out about the trees.
My wife said
“If you don’t return that money right now, I’ll call the police!”.
I couldn’t stand working
with no pay anymore.
The more I mentioned the money on trees
got me kicked out the front door.
“Where’s Daddy going?”
Said The Daughter, feeling confused.
“He’s not feeling right.”
Said The Wife, feeling like she has a right to refuse.
I slept on the streets,
after kicked out of my house.
With all the money I have from the tree,
I can make it up to my wife and buy her a new blouse.
I’ll come back home
and make things right.
Then when the tree still stood there,
I had to stay up late another night.
“I can’t sleep, we need money” I said to my Wife.
She was feeling mad.
“If you can’t help it then sleep outside.”
Feeling like I’ve done something bad.
I tried to be provide for my family
yes, it’s true.
Then, my Wife said
“What the hell’s gotten into you?”.
Led to another argument
I didn’t end up winning.
The more my wife wouldn’t keep her mouth shut,
my head just kept spinning.
“You care more about that stupid fake tree more than you care about your daughter!”
Said my Wife who had just wants me to be
ending up being slaughtered.
“I lied about keeping my promises”
I confessed to my Wife.
She broke my heart as she said
“I want you out of here and I want you of my life!”
“You can’t mean that, please don’t throw me out!”
I said as I went trying to beg her to let me stay.
She breaks my heart even harder as she said
“I want a divorce and there’s nothing about it that you can do or say!”.
She kicked me out of the house
over a tree.
I can’t understand why she would do this,
especially to me.
I got a new job
and it went well.
But as I got my money stolen by thieves,
I went back to my own personal hell.
“Do you have any change?”
I asked anyone if they have change.
I was out my of mind
and there was nothing I can do to arrange.
I don’t know why my family
kicked me out of my own home.
I can’t imagine that I sacrificed
myself by working endlessly to the bone.
My wife and daughter
are now dead to me.
If she marries someone else in front of me,
I’ll begin a killing spree.
And then the tree with cash
got chopped down.
Probably chopped to the ground,
as I heard a very bad sound.
I saw my wife and daughter
spend time with another man.
This fills me with anger
and I’ll kill him as hard I can.
“Who is this man?” I said
while aggressively holding an axe.
The new husband said
“Didn’t you say something behind your family’s backs?”.
Shut the hell up!” I said.
blinded with rage.
Then my now ex-wife said,
“Put the axe down now or you’ll be ending up in a cage.”
I saw the tree
getting burned by him.
Thinking that what I have done
with the tree with cash hanging was a sin.
“Leave now.”
Said my ex-wife.
I said angrily
“I’m not going anywhere because I had the decency to fix all of our lives!”.
“It’s too late for that now”
I can tell that she hates me.
Then she said something that shattered my soul
“You’re mentally sick. And you don’t lie to your family! Can’t you see?!”.
So I left my house
as my family told me to leave forever.
I didn’t make any good choices
with a dream won’t come true, ever.
Years gone by,
With my daughter now all grown up.
Rebuilt the house
not looking like it was covered in blood.
“What you doing here?”
My Daughter said.
All I can say back was
“Aren’t you supposed to be in bed?”
“I’m not a little girl anymore.”
She hates me for the past seven years.
I regret spending most of it
losing money and drinking many beers.
“I’m sorry for everything I did”
I said nearly about what I’d seen.
And then I finally told her,
“It was because I saw money grow from a tree.”.
