Wherefore art thou Tree

This analysis is a mere glimpse into my current predicament
As a specimen of the gymnosperm phylum
Due to my 'tree' nature, I am unable to possess a certain sentience
That other organisms apparently have retained
By some miracle

What a shame that my nonexistent encephalon
Is incapable of understanding this comparison
And leaves me to ponder the exact reasoning behind this classification

But as the maxim goes, ignorance is bliss
Whether or not that is a treelike emotion or not remains to be seen
The bliss
Trees are incapable of ignorance for the most part
Despite our lack of a cephalized nervous system and auditory canals
Our innate knowledge of emotions and beings make us excellent individuals
To confide and rely upon

Why?
There is no roundabout meaning to a tree
No need for a lengthy periphrasis regarding our purpose or meaning
We are there to live and serve
To aid and listen
To Tree
