I'm, a tree which is <br />stuck to the earth, <br />not to get away <br />from her chest! <br />My roots are in quest <br />of the water lying <br />deep in the heart <br />of mother earth. <br />My stem, bark, leaves <br />branches, stoma all <br />all are for this earth. <br />Come bird, perch here <br />on my hands, take the fruit <br />as your meal. <br />I'm a tree, <br />You are a bird <br />and look, they are human beings. <br />You will do your task <br />by spreading the seed <br />of the fruit you eat. <br />I let out oxygen <br />to keep the balance, <br />by inhaling Carbon dioxide. <br />We give medicines, herbs, woods..... <br />But, they hurt and cut us <br />indiscriminately, <br />knowing, there will be flood, <br />drought and landslides! <br />Come bird, listen my <br />saga of grief and human idiocy!<br /><br />Neela Nath<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/come-bird-come/
