My hair flowed like a river

And down it flowed

From mountains and hills

Through valleys and stills

It watered the plants

And nourished the wild

Like crystals and jewels

Like beads and pearls

But slowly and surely

I found it cost

The treatment or hair

I had to choose

And so the river was drained

Not a drop was left

A severe drought and famine

Was what was caused

I realized too late

That it didn't help my fate

If I had at least chosen wisely

I could have died happily

                                                       -milo
