That Plant

The high walls and a closed factory, Everyday I acrossed, When I went to town, I were alone or with my family, My eyes always touched its height, And watched at that plant, It was grown up in the wall. Who has planted it? And who is feeding it? I have seen it has a big growth, I also have seen flowers, The white flowers and birds, I have seen them playing together. At the top, there was no disturbance. The sun kissed him, every morning, And evening, a shadow never touched it, Rain bathed it naked, Strong winds never harmed it. I never seen afraid around it, When a person is naked, He never afraids and cracks system. As the top grew plant has strong roots, Everybody has seen these cracks on wall, Few months later, the big wall, It was damaged and falls down. When a poor is naked, He feels shame on him, the poverty Roots are as strong as a top grew plant.
