Alone we

I asked the Big Banyan tree
standing tall at the end of the road
You know, you may be great, I said
but you cannot stand against the mightier winds
You will one day be uprooted by the winds
Your dignity and majesty will all be gone!
May be one day, he said ,
I may be no more,
Nor will be there these rich branches of mine,
Nor will be there any flowers and birds
But all other trees, I do know for sure ,
Will be moaning with me ,
many would even fall with me ,
Birds would weep and pray long for me
I will be rooted out ; but by an Outsider !
I will finally sleep; but in peace
with my loved ones around and sharing the plight!
