Running far away from the world of greed,
life loses meaning when nature starts to bleed.
I know a tree in my vicinity my beloved mate,
spent hours lying in its shade when my granny used to narrate.
Served too many childhoods with its love and care,
found place in farmer's brunch and villagers' prayer.
Climbed on it ,hid behind its trunk,
eyes get wet ,heart aches watching my friend getting shrunk.
In corporate world of today, it has lost its sheen,
people who were yester years children walk past by unmoved busy in their daily routine.
People lose their meaning as life moves on,
Oh! I forgot you are just a tree and they are just your caretakers' clone.
The day has arrived when you'll be sacrificed in the name of development and progress,
fooling around ,we are taking giant leaps of destruction rendering nature and our future lifeless.
I'll miss you mate and your memoirs have found place in every corner of my soul,
forgive them a dying warrior ,for they don't know you'll still benefit them one day when you'll become coal.
