Tree Poem by Nikunj Sharma
Tree
I am tree,
But not free
My stem is being;
Cut by forces of modernization
Environmental love,
Sacrificed on altar of commercialization
The gardener who was in love with me
Dates a skyscraper now
The builder gave him a terrace flat
His wife said wow.
It seems all my released oxygen
Went to the woodcutter
Who breathed on me, so that one day;
I could be his slaughter
My roots are competing with
The foundation stone of my neighbor
Who shall get more of the mother earth?
Me or the skyscraper

A clever and though provoking poem and the humor made it for me. 'The gardener who was in love with me dates a skyscraper now! ' And not so happy I liked 'It seems all my released oxygen went to the woodcutter, who breathed on me, so that one day I could be his slaughter'. Great poem thank you Nikunj. 10 love Karin
