A leaf may be green
Red purple or yellow
May be of different size
Different texture
Thick or thin
Of a tree
Of a plant
Or a creeper
A leaf is a leaf
Growing in the plain
Or high mountains
Planted in the
Home of a poor
Or villa of a rich
To remain alive
Needs water
Air sunlight
But no leaf
Hates the other
Do not discriminate
On the basis of
Color texture and size
Grow next to each other
Why can't
Human beings
Learn from the leaves

I would like to translate this poem
how about strangler trees? hmm? yeah, not the leaves perhaps. maybe if we learned how to talk with leaves, they would tell us how to get along better with other humans! maybe 'God' could work on it? ! to MyPoemList. bri :)
