Dead Leaves

  

Dry leaves fell asleep forever

Under the mud  so clever

Life had been always green

Without any dust but clean

Swayed with tiny twigs as hands

Suddenly some sparrow lands

Winged under its weight there

Though it was a nightmare

Now lay mingled with dirt

Always sleeping not hurt

Crunchy noise of someone’s foot

It was a stray dog sniffing

Put its wide paw misfitting

Few drops of urine it sprayed

Nastily lifted its rear leg

Saw nothing but obscene

The dry leaves had no choice

But to stay with crumpling noise

Destiny was at their door

When they were not at the floor

Alas ! They slept for ever

Seen dry leaves every where

No satire nor it was a nightmare

Dry leaves fell asleep for ever
