there is a visionary is in all of us if we only tap the energy and not waste it

a man lives in the forest

and every tree he sees

he himself  he planted it

he knew where he could be

30 years before that

at 16 years of age

and now at the age of 46

he’s regarded as a sage

for all around him

are his trees

everyone in fact

he had the foresight to create

and the forest did react

to the logging that was going on

in those days of age when he

was observing feeling sorry

as more clearings he could see

and at that rate of clearance

if he had not planted new

now there would be desert

and that just wouldn’t do

now he lives with tigers

with elephants they all

thank him for his hard work

and realize how cool

he was to think in that way

for if he hadn’t, they

would have no homes to go to

which goes to show

to say

a single boy could do this

sounds far fetched but he

because he had the forsight

in his forest he can be

Jadav Payeng is heralded

and everybody feels

that what he did was special

as the environment now reveals
