Excellent Rondeau Poetry contest entry A Fruit Tree's Lament by DragonSkulls Rondeau Poetry writing prompt entry

I hate mankind for what you've done. I scorch beneath this savage sun, unwillingly it's here I dwell, to give forth fruit you steal then sell with nary chance to hide nor run. A simple seed when it begun that some dumb jackass gave someone. A fate too cruelly I befell. I hate mankind. What wicked deeds your greed has spun. You sell our children by the ton. You keep me here so you'll excel and pluck my kids as I rebel. I'm trapped in earth, so yes, you've won. I hate mankind.   Writing Prompt A rondeau poem is required for this contest.
