The Great Banyan Tree Speaks :: the Clare Sonnet
For two and half centuries standing lone
witnessed how people's thought process have grown;
Decades of sighting made me to discern
the way people behave made me perturb.
Is it that the human value system
debased; what about the old tradition?
Respect for tree missing, they're destroying
nature too, creating its annoyance.
Migrating birds are avoiding to fly
how they'd live, don't know why people defy.
Trees know their roots maintain stability
but, they forget their root, no dignity.
Trees decide its growth, the ways it'll flourish
but their rude acts divert them from purpose.
