All're Equal In A Country

 

 

 

"I'm the cause for the tree.

Is there a tree sans me?"

Asks the seed

 

"No, I bear the seed

With my juicy feed." 

Says the fruit.

 

"Seed or fruit, I house them

As they hang o'er my arm."

Declares the branch.

 

"I take the Sun's heat.

To give them cool seat.

Shout the leaves.                             

               

"If I don't keep them high

They will one by one die."

Asserts the trunk.

 

 "Under the ground I remain

Nourishing them one by one."   

Cries the root.

 

"I carry the load

O'er my head"

Say the legs.

 

"My work is manifold

In one word can't be told."

Plead the hands.

 

"I'm the connecting junction,

Causing every limb function."

Claims the body.

 

"If I don't pump blood

They are all dead."

Laughs the heart.

 

"I digest for them everything

Otherwise, they become nothing."

Murmurs the stomach.

 

"I'm the Chief Executive,

'Cause of me they live?"

Commands the head.

 

Likewise, is there any sense

If every state claims

Of their own liberty

In a democratic country?

 

Every state is vital

For a country's survival,

In that, all are equal,

Isn't it meaningful and real?
