It’s not so far when ten of us will be sharing a single tree.
To breathe uneasy and make it hard for it to set us free.
Aghast! It’s disheartening to accept this fact.
But our cruelty towards those life machines is not even gonna give us a second chance to react..
A single tree will toil day and night.
With all its abilities and might.
Still it won’t be able to convert those “Carbon Particles”.
Notwithstanding that that “Mighty Troy” won’t be able to take a sabbatical…
Soon a daily consumption quota of that precious oxygen will be the set norm.
Which will be like relishing a “bitter gourd” in its raw form.
Moving from the set norm to an esteemed place in a museum.
That indomitable relentless creature will find itself as an object of exhibition…
Every odd four legged human savage will then behave like a thief.
Unabatedly trying to steal that “Kohinoor” (tree) , despite of its being ‘will o’ the wisp’.
There will be a sudden extinction of life from this holy mother earth.
If we still do not act and protect this “Leafy Green Bird”..
It’s a high time we all must take a pledge in our own heart.
To preserve all the “Green Birds” and to grow one in each courtyard….
