COCONUT T R E E

Ever since the days of father

To father, Grand father

This was a small plant seeded some where

Transplanted as pair, two trees

Into the earth of our home

At the east southern side

As a beauty of the place

They have grown high and higher

Giving its growing in punches

Each coconut with three eyes

As it blooms no flowers

Each and every parts of it is used,

Nothing go waste

These coconut trees have become

Tall and taller

Standing well even storm wind

Taken aside

One of the coconut trees lost its

Growth and removed away

As the case of elderly father,

By now he is also passed away

The one is remaining as single

One can see that is just above the new

Building construction made recent

On the premises

All on a sudden due to want of space

Of passage, with matter of space blank

Will it be removed away?

Is it not like a murder to cut it into pieces?

And removal is taken place?

Who is the cause for this?

Oh god, show me a way!

And make good of this

Lalalalalah… lala lalah … lala lala!
