☆ Anguish of the Tree! ☆
Some people have come
to cut the tree,
But, the biting sun forces them
to take refuge under its shade!
Exclaims the tree: Why to cut me
I would have died
Just like that only,
Had no one sat under my shade!
How’d they know
the effect of scorching sun,
Who always live
under the coolest of shade!
How’d would they know
the extent of sufferings
Who have never lived in the devastated villages..!
Have you ever endured the agony
of losing some loved ones,
If yes! Then don’t cut me,
I’m also yours only!
Will give you shade,
Bear fruits for you…
More than your own
Will protect your loved ones too!
