A Humble Coconut! Poem by Naga Vamshidhar Ratakonda

So Lean Standing Tall,
In the Home Yards &
In Every Farm Land;
It's a Tree of Life &
Tree of Thousand Uses!

A Nut, Fruit & Seed,
Three in One in a Nut Shell;
Coconut a Religious,
Science & Health Trait;

A Human Head in its,
Physical Resemblance;
A Religious Offering with,
Humble Self Submission;

It's Branches & Leaves,
For Nomad Shelters &
Auspicious Occasions;

It's Barks & Fibres as,
Threads, Garments &
Countryside Bio-Fire Fuel;

It's Lubricating Oil,
A Hair Strengthener,
An Antiseptic Moisturizer,
A Mosquito Repellent,
A Mouth Ulcer Gauggle,
A Low Calorie Cooking Oil;

It's Cut & Churned,
Inner Fruit & Milk,
For Sweets, Savouries,
Curries & Tasty Snacks;

It's Tender Natural Water,
An Immunity Booster,
A Thirst Burning Coolant,
A Stomach Bug Killer;

Groundnut under Mud,
Coconut above in Sky;
The Natural Raw Foods,
Unaffected By Chemicals,
And Pesticide Residues;
With Hell of a Protection
Layered Prevention Shell!
