At the heart of the campus, in the playground
lies a broken abandoned twig
Unaware of its surroundings,
it lies on ground with no life
Once a part of a mighty tree, green and bright
now a fragment, brown and broken
A silent observer a motionless sight,
but a reminder of life
It watches the children play and have fun
while it lies forgotten beneath the sun
It wonders if anyone notices or cares
But no one notices
It waits for decaying itself to the earth,
but it reminds itself that
it is a tiny world for the micro-organisms
Even though small and unnoticed,
it teaches us to enjoy our life
before we return to the earth
