Away from all in a corner they lay
Painted in green looking forever young
Amusing students in leisure and heat
Passed evergreen so many decades away…
Guitars and songs were always there
Lyrics of love and happiness swayed
Silently did it clap out its lonely heart
Happily engrossing in the daily prayer
Often in heat with ice-creams in hand
Little groups relished in ageless talks
None realizing the value of the silent wood
Never knowing it will desert away as sand
Always so proud the benches have been
So many endless discussions did it hear
Plays, actors, rehearsals saw they all
But little cared anyone for these benches green
And then one day as I passed by them again
A tear of faith, fear and helplessness prevailed
Concrete and bricks on it were sown
The corner promising never to look the same
As a monument it stood silently for so long
Unnoticed by strangers from walks of life
But no more will they amuse students in leisure and heat
It finally perished and will be once long gone…
