IF I WERE

IF I were a  squirrel,  bury I would, varied n many a seed.

As a human  being,  a lot we can do to plant trees,  indeed!!!

If I were a butterfly,  cross pollination would be my deed ;

If I were a crow  many  Banyan n Peepal trees I would sow.

Or in some way,  along the coast, all the way,  coconut palms grow

If I were the PM, all along,  every road, trees would be grown in many a row.

Every MP, MLA, tycoon, beaurocrat, should follow suit

No one allowed is, to fell trees, our environment destroy or loot.

Builders destroy trees,  compel them I would, to transplant

Wouldn't it wonderful be, If every man responsibility takes, to trees plant ?

No one ever hungry would remain,  fruits,  vegetables n herbs abundant will be

Wow ! Just Imagine! What a wonderful country ours will, then be!!!
