Dr Hitendra Mehta Poet Free verse

Be a Tree

No Tree 
is possessive of its own fruit
When ripe, tree lets it go 
If plucked, it doesn't stop
It weathers all weathers
till it looses life 
to calamity or deforestation 

No human 
should be possessive of Knowledge 
Knowledge is akin to fruit of one's effort
Let it go, share fully, half-way is unlike tree
Absorb criticism see good in it 
Nurse quest, gain wisdom
Serve humanity, till life departs
