Stone
Stone stood before the Sculptor and ask him why
 
 The chisel crushed its side
 
 What was wrong?
 
 Why was it removed?
 
 The tree asked the gardener 
 
 Why was it planted as it was?
 
 Why did it have to fight past the rocks that fumbled its roots?
 
 And fling is arms to the sky to catch the sun?
 
 And was the gold lackluster before the fires heat
 
 Was it only worth something
 
 Once scared with scratched etchings
 
 Or was there something else intended?
 
 I asked about the justice
 
 I was shown the mercy
