THE Banyan tree

3. THE BANYAN TREE-DR.KGB

                         During the last monsoon,
                         Fell the banyan tree,
                         As old as the space eternal
                         Consigned to it free,
                         Making the ‘Banyan Junction'
                         Innominate;
                         Rather destitute!

                        It became punishing
                        For the transport bus;
                        With out signal of the tree;
                        It can't stop;
                        Also for the wind,
                        To flute an' fiddle
                        Without its
                        Quivering leaves!

                        For the People,
                        They lost the love,
                        Shadow an' care;
                        For the bird its nest;
                        Me the sanctum;
                        And a fresh breath;
                        My zest an' quest-
                        During this spells
                        Dishonest!

                        Yesterday I could see;
                         A scalping banyan;
                         Exactly planted
                         At the junction;
                         To perpetuate
                         The Time!
                         Also the mortal name!
