I must admit
that now I feel
quite guilty
For cutting down
the saplings
grandfather
had planted
laboriously...
They had menacingly
encroached on my territory..
Blurring his memory
with the flaring up of hatred..
Among family members
who is in union,
had decided to democrate
the land with a barbed wire fence...
Forgetting how we
plucked and shared
the ripe and luscious fruits
in abundance...
