An olive on the roadside

Hey... there, small olive tree,
memory of the good times
tell me, you, that  you're are there...
near the roadside
where's that small car, which
always was so close to you?
It was right there, in your shadow
and it kept you company ...
How strange,
now that here's so much choice
you're always alone...
that thou, being a great!
Here they are... look at those
they go fast, for looking at you
while you're shading...
neither do you do anything
to get you noticed...
Come on!  Let shake your leafs a little!
Oh my God..
