in this world,
oh, grasses and herbs,
shrubs, crops and giant trees!
you transpire,
you respire,
you photosynthesize and purify,
you anthesis and beautify,
you fertilize to give fruits and grains,
and then
you  are robbed, tore, and lopped
to make ropes, thatches, and clothes
again
when you are expired
you decay and degrade
to become soil
or
you are chopped down
and  burnt to ashes
and you give us fire to cook  food
that  benefit the  human empire
giving us chances to survive
and,
now you are no more there
to see  our  hypocrite  life,
to observe the  thanksgivings
we give to our fellow people
But no thanksgivings to you!
