There and Here

There it was a healthy tree, full of life and vitality,
but it chose to uproot itself and move away;
     But the alien lands were hostile and forbidding
It could do no better than become a parasite
to what it thought was a healthy tree, here;
     But one day the healthy tree began to rot 
     and with it began to wither the parasite that lived on and off it;
It had not taught itself to spring roots to survive on its own, here
Nor were its dismembered remains strong enough to strike root again, there
    Uprooted tree or starved parasite, you have no chance!
