Withered Tree Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Withered tree
Saturday,18th Dec,2021
Look, O human beings
don't bring in the destruction
let the nature play it's role
so, respond to the nature's call
Look at me and my position
and think of human beings
today I am branchless with no green leaves
still, I stand erect and live
I have enjoyed full utility
and served well the humanity
I had vast area covered
that provided strangers a shed
all passersby looked at and thanked
no one thought and staked claim
at least they spared me
and allowed branchless tree
everybody faces the time
and crumbles upon any time
even though I am dry and may fall any time
you also think of your past time
