I am
a tree.
You may wrongly think that
I�m the dancing puppet of a woman in
your hand!
Is life for a mere decoration?
At times
I�ve endured the hurricanes
of your wrath.

I drink the liquid you give me
like a patient drinking the portion of
drug
to cure the suffering.

But I challenge you
to throw the veil of your vanity
and play a tug of war with me
as in the Bhairaba of Bisket
You�ll stop, not me;
don�t dream about shaking my
foundation.
I�m water,
I�m the coal
that drags you out of the world of
dreams
and throws you out into the open reality
