Sunil Sharma writes

Tree leaves and humans

Selfless friends

of uncouth beings!

They give greenery

and shade

in youth;

In autumn of their

short existence

pallid and shaky,

cling to the trees

and get blown away to die, un-mourned;

in death

trampled

then, manure
for an ungrateful species!
