Its roots are firmly rooted and bind to hold the torso that supports thousands of branches and twigs along with thousands of green leaves. Growing up and living provides millions of benefits for some other creatures who also live in the surrounding environment. Time after time has passed it has made it into a large tree that grows like the creation of a magnificent kingdom, but it also provides shade.

Providing shelter also for other kingdoms such as the ant kingdom, the bees pot, being a place to live for birds, and sometimes protecting various other living things that stop by to rest under its shade.

The shade also often provides shade for everyone who stops by to rest to relieve fatigue or who wants to avoid the hot sun during the day.

Providing cool and clean air for the surrounding environment. Without hesitation and keeps on doing it all the time.

Slowly, little by little, various parasite plants grew around the branches. Like a parasite that takes advantage only for the growth of the parasite itself. Day by day, time goes by, parasites seem to take root and continue to grow in every existing branch. It is fun to feel comfortable taking advantage of life for their colony.

While singing every beautiful but heartbreaking song at the time passed, it seemed to give a deadly seduction that they were always there by the tree's side to always share in raising this kingdom that had grown beautifully. Make the tree complacent by the serene chants given by the parasites that circle each branch which is now increasingly creating its own kingdom above the kingdom of the tree that was once beautiful, peaceful and shady.

The leaves that used to be green are now often withered and withered. Indicates a lack of starch that should be obtained. But unfortunately, the parasites don't care what they do. Continue to grow and grow. Always think the same as the tree instead of giving life to others without realizing that the tree needs the appropriate strength to support its life as well.

The incident continues without being based on the awareness of the parasites. They feel they are right and there are many at the side of the tree. Now the roots of the tree are starting to show their weakness, which was once strong with roots slowly starting to disappear. Can no longer provide a good intake to provide starch to each branch and twig continuously. It stopped because it had been taken by parasites who, without realizing it, had been slowly sucking it up all this time.

Finally, the unconscious period finally ran out and the tree gave up being unable to do its job again. What used to be able to shelter a lot of life around him is now starting to wither. The branches and twigs that used to be shady are now parched. Can no longer shelter everyone who stops while passing by. And even the parasites who used to live around the branches also felt that they could no longer get the juice they felt before.

Slowly dissipating over time with no power and effort to deny what had happened. Like a whisper and a great seduction that gives peace to live all this time, parasites are not aware of what they are doing. It only gives a death chant that slowly sucks the joints that are in each of the tree branches.

Unfortunately, it is really loved, no matter how hard the tree tries its best without being supported by the life that lives around it properly, it finally makes the tree that was once sturdy, shady, and useful, now withers waiting for time to become a tree that no longer gives meaning to its surroundings.
