Desire

Seed
desires to 
Germinate 
To grow into 
Big Tree
Offer shade
Cater fruits
Release Oxygen
Provide wood 
Allow Nests

Seed 
has to die 
for it's desire
Tree grows 
after death of 
Seed 

How many are
ready to die for
Desire ? 
All want to enjoy
Actualisation of
Desire

Desires multiply 
Greed takes over
Journey of sin starts
There is no desire to provide 
shade, fruits to others
Selfish desires
are omnipotent 
Selfishless desires 
Like Seeds are extinct

Nurture
Selfless purpose 
In Desire 
Akin to Nature's 
way seen in Seeds

Make Desire 
meaningful 
Only humans are
Bestowed with Mind
Shun selfishness
Live like Seed
Germinate for
next generation
