A tree without leaves

A tree without leaves..

How good is a tree without leaves ?
Does it matter it has thick barks ?
Does it matter it once grew tall ?

With wilted branches,
It provide no shades,
and bears no flowers and fruits.
It became an eyesore and a burden to all.

sooner or later,
it will become a nuisance,
and a danger to its surroundings.
It is as good as dead.

A man without gratitudes.
How good is a man without gratitudes ?
Does it matter how well he can masquerade ?
Does it matter how well he can tell lies ?

A soul with no remorse,
he tends a garden of trees without leaves,
of plants without flowers and fruits.
He lives in a wasteland of delusions and deceits.

Without gratitudes,
he breeds no grace but greeds.
A vain fable with hideth follies,
each day falsehoods enfolded his soul.

At the end of the day,
what are left behind,
are his insincere prayers to the Almighty,
his scattered emotional debris, and noisy cries for pleas.



Sooner or later,
he will become a nuisance,
and a danger to his surroundings.
He is as good as dead.

Om Namo Amithaba Buddha.
