The Peepal tree

The Peepal tree stood huge and proud,

Thousands visited it everyday, moving for and around.

Protecting them from outside, filling up their void;

The tree stood tall and sturdy, never to be destroyed!!!

Rahul and Seema were two lovers, lost in Paradise

They took shelter underneath it; they loved the tree premise.

Vowing never to go apart in their lives,

The tree listened to their sweet laughter, their painful cries.

They fought, they made love, they exchanged soles beneath the tree;

It laughed silently, it listened to their whispers,

Two souls could finally be eternally free!!

Then one day came when they married each other, 

They took refugee under the tree.

With nowhere to go and no one offering shelter;

They had decided to fight the world, together is what they were meant to be!

A large jeep came that night; with two people loaded with a gun;

They started shooting at the two, they were having fun!!

Two lovers died that day beneath it, still the tree stood tall

With pain deep inside it, is still managed not to fall.

The two innocent suffered and died, at what cost?

Humanity was indeed no more there, it was completely lost.

But still the tree stands tall and huge,

It still serves as a strong refuge.

The Peepal tree stands huge and proud,

Thousands visit it everyday, moving for and around.

Protecting them from outside, filling up their void;

The tree stands tall and sturdy, never to be destroyed!!!
