In the shade of a tree


I saw a firm shady tree
Trunk with broken barks,

Leafy branches sways
No fragrance of flowers
No single birds’ sounds
The gush of people
Meets here with pains In rain or hot shine
In the shade of the tree. 
Helping hands of god seen
Sharing the bowl of porridge,
Hopes for better Medicare.

What happens on the floors?
The tree can see all wards
The doctors and nurses
On their toes in rounds
Infant to old in tubes,
 Those feeding painkillers.
have several days of severe pain
Patients find soothe..
Restless bystanders
With aching hearts.


“The brutal   oncogenes ”

Made “Burning pain "and “cries”
Cruel fate in the planet
Long queue in each ward
Long queue in labs
some are seen in streets
Out of stock medicines, out of working machines

In an emergency sprint to miles.

Biopsies, therapies, and autopsies
the ambulances sound around
Once the day of healing arrives

In the shade of the tree
Little buds may smile
Little birds might sing
“Heart of the tree while weeps
in deep serene"...In the regional cancer center.
