Dead Fuji Apple Tree (original Haiku/Senryu)

Dead Fuji Apple Tree
It bears me no fruit
Starving me karmaticly
Choking on my Ch'i
===
Sometimes in life, one can't help but to take notice of the happenings around him or her. As we take notice of these external stimuli, we inevitably form opinions on them. In our observations, we usually end up trying to answer certain question about the world around us. "Why did this happen?" "Why does drama seem to follow this individual?" "Could their own actions have brought these events upon them?" Those are just a few of the questions which come up in my mind.
This poem is more of an expression of that process than a conclusion of those questions. I have a close friend who was recently complaining of his inability to grow apples from his Fuji Apple Tree. This particular guy is prone to rage and often harms other people through his actions. Even though I don't really believe in Karma, it is something that immediately popped into my mind.
We all have faults and shortcomings. I do not claim to be any better than that guy. I just have different issues. In any case, if these types of happenings give us pause to consider those faults in our own lives. I think that can be a very good thing.
Have a good day, Steemians!

Hi Moe,
I noticed your presence on Discord, and so thought I'd say hi...
Are you doing any writing anywhere these days?
This poem of yours reminded me strongly of the time that Jesus passed by a fig tree and cursed it because it wasn't bearing any fruit. There is some interesting commentary on that as well...
Hope you are doing good!
😄😇😄
