What a bud will understand
one day she has to blossom
a beetle will flutter about her
to sip her nectar of life
Her beauty will enamor the world
she does not know
one day her petal will wilt
She does not know if one day
she will be plucked by the gardener
n will be sold in few coins
She does not know if she will be
made captive under hair lock of any beauty
She does not know if she will be
offered on any corpse
She does not know if she will be
a garland of any conqueror
who has conquered all evils of life
She does not know if she will be
made an offering to any God
She does not know if one day
her color will be fade
She does not know if she will be
smiling to see the children
playing in the garden
kissing her face
She does not know if she will be
trampled by any demon or
by any innocent pedestrian
Her dilemma will end with her life.
