THE BIG TREE

Hit by lightning

Roared by thunder

the big tree falls

i was there

when the big tree finally falls

to the ground

roared by thunder

hit by lightning

the arrogance

that used to be

We all looked up

that big tree

It was so high

and big

And we could not

Climb it

because of fear

And Perhaps we also

respect for its grandeur

And today this big tree falls

Hit by lightning

and roared by thunder

The hands of the universe clap upon

the Fall of arrogance and Pride

The tree's belief about

Its hugeness and

Strength finally faded

Gone

Now this tree falls

And I am here watching it
You are not here

You are in some foreign country
How can I tell you
That this tree has fallen
And there is nothing to fear anymore?

When a tree falls and you are not here

Your logic says:
There is no tree

There is no tree of such strength and posture

There is no tree like that
That can ever fall

All because a lightning hits it

And all because the thunder roared
Without you.
