Request of the tree

March 03, 2014 06:29 pm | Updated May 19, 2016 06:02 am IST

Help! help! Help!

Save me please,

Let me grow.”

This is the voice of the tree!

Don’t feel lazy,

for a little while be busy.

Grow other plants,

to fulfil your wants.

We are all an

essential part of your lives

Don’t kill us now,

with your sharp knives.

This is the voice of a tree

being scared of knives

friends realise the reality:

The trees are our lives.
