It is arali
a flower dainty
named so in my language
know not its botanical name
grows throughout the seasons
flowers even in the driest times
needs no water to bloom
comes in different colours
be they red, yellow, white and rose
all seen along the roads
grow on their own
require no nurture or care
yet they flower and blossom
a treat to the eyes
ain’t arali is a symbol of simplicity
and a paragon of virtue.
