Trees

"Trees"

(11th Sept.2011)

Trees –

Give shade 

Give home

Give food

Give log

Give all

Nothing they keep

For themselves.

Trees have 

no complaints

Whatsoever

For the scorching heat

For the cool breeze

For the scaring lightening

Followed by thunder.

Trees have 

no complaints

Whatsoever

That they cannot move

That they cannot talk

That they cannot smile

That they cannot chant 

That they cannot hug.

Trees –

Give breeze

Give solace

Give away

Themselves

Even for the wood-cutter

Mercilessly cut with axe

Trees give 

Oxygen-n-shade

And donate themselves.
