The Fall Of The Banyan Tree

Started it's life by growing on another

Leaning to gain it's strength from one another

It sprouted with beauty

And jealousy surrounded


Trampled and crushed

But roots deepened

Though it grew with the countless others

It made sure it stood matchless


Nurtured with the love of every kind

It learnt to survive in the storms that came

For it danced beautifully in the wind and rain

Not once or twice but countless of times


Toughened and strengthened with every pain

The time came when a man met the tree

Used it for it's shade

The trunk of the tree brought jealousy in the eyes of men


For greediness played it's fate

And wealth covered his eyes

The jealousy of it's riches brought it down

Poisoned little by little every time


And there fell the branches one by one

With the swift stride of the axes in motion

Brought down the fall of the banyan tree.


Note : the banyan tree here is depicted the life of J.Jayalitha the example CM of Tamil Nadu.
