Gulmohars

Have you noticed the flaming Gulmohars ?

Booming all over like a bunch of Buddhas..

Oblivious of the

Oppressing heat

And dust...and noise..

Of the stream of

Ordinary human beings

With their ordinary problems..

Passing below...

Blooming and swaying in the wind

Occasionally..

Like a wise man watching..

Sometimes in lonely desolate streets

Sometimes next to a garbage dump

Sometimes watching a road accident

Sometimes lovers...

In the same red of it's flowers

Oblivious of the

Ordinary problems

Of ordinary human beings

Passing below

Of ordinary human beings

Oblivious

Of the flaming Gulmohars..
