I peeped out of the window
To see the trees,
That line the pavements,
Giving shadows and shelter
To the needy wretched creatures.
Men and animals
Together stick under the shade
That give relief from the scorching sun.
The trees suck the smokes
Billowing out of the running vehicles.
Themselves drenched in thick dust
They look helpless
In this concrete jungle
Forlorn and lonely among many strangers.
There are blaring sounds and shouts of all hues
But not a word of kindness
People seem as heartless as the concrete buildings.
My heart went to the tree
Who seemed lost among strangers
Being hurt by callousness and apathy of people
Who never cared to feel its feeling.
In my imagination
I held the branch of the tree
As if it was the hand of my beloved
Bowed and kissed
Whispering as if to say
Never mind, where ever you stay
My heart is with you.
