I was woken up by the scream of a mango tree
Shaken up the foundation of my heart from the base
I was also disturbed like what could be the reason?
As I realized it was the scream of loneliness
From abandonment and indifference
From People who once cared and showed some love
When she had lots of good to offer and some luck
When she was available for all to pluck
When they peeled her skin for herbs
When they cut her arms and legs
When they removed her clothes
During which she was suffered unrest and insomnia
For the interests of people lied in her during the period.
Everything to their advantage
There I learnt a lesson:
People move closer to you when they could benefit from you.
And desert you when you have nothing to offer them.
They could also cause your death as they could uproot the mango tree from the root.
