A day before I bought a new ‘Kites’ pencil.

It choked to me ‘I can thoroughly breathe still.’

Shocked and gobsmacked; I kept my sharpener aside.

And my pencil narrated its story with tears’ tide - 



“I was tiny branch before.

So weak, so blind but had everyone to adore.

Suddenly one day I felt an instant pain.

In forlorn I cried with nothing to gain.

A story of two students...


Someone had detached me from my family.

Blind, my eyes were but I felt my crease in different tally.


Soon I felt my weaker crease going off.

A machine had gulped me, to escape was very tough.

A spell passed and I was pulled out with same hand.

Same as that which had detached me from my band.


Around me I felt brightness and lights.

A new look I got with cemented on me ‘Kites’.


Something unfamiliar caught me and kept in a group.

12 we were and got supplied to a retailer as a weak troop.

Consequently Giants (humans) approached demolished every one of my dudes.

Finally you came and bought me confined with different goods.”


As I finished hearing I started regretting about our deeds.

We exterminate trees to accomplish our egoistic needs.

And here is my caution; please do accept -

Amparar trees or in future nothing is going to be left.
