Leaves shine so bright
Fluttering in the wind
Thieves try to pluck the mangoes, smelling so sweet………
The tree is strong, clam and still
With full of harvest
Anyone can taste them……...
Hurting the tree and eating mangoes,
Throwing the rest around and showing the gratitude,
Many people are………
Someone abuses the tree, when they miss the target…
“Nobody eats these mangoes! They are not eatable! They stink!”
“Boles are too high! No one can reach them!”, they say......
Still the leaves shine…shine so bright….
Singing birds, white doves, even the crows, have relaxing evenings;
On the verge of the strong boles
Fresh breeze has promised to spread the sweet smell
Birds have already spread the seeds wherever possible
The tree is strong, calm and still……..
