The firmly shady tree

 The firmly shady tree
Trunk with broken barks,
Leafy branches sways

With long slender green pods
No fragrance of flowers
No single birds’ sounds.

But firmly the shady tree.

While, Taxies, autos and KSRTC buses

Ambulances stops

The gush of people
meets here with pains

In rain or hot shine
in the shade of “the cassia tree”
helping hands of god seen

Humanity still alive
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.
