I am like a Grass full poem PDF by Pash 

i am like  Grass 

I am like grass

I am like grass
 you can chop me mow me down
 but I shall sprout again
 grow and bounce back 

 you can obliterate my signposts 
 you can bomb the Universities 
 reduce the hostels to rubble
 you may scorch the slums
 but you cannot erase my identity
 because I am like grass
 I will sprout again
 and my mantle shall cover everything

 you may bomb Banga 
 you can destroy Sangrur 
 and reduce the whole district of Ludhiana   to ashes 
 but it will be only a matter of time
 two years ten years 
 before my green mantle covers everything   again 

 I will become a vast green jungle 
 the green jungle of Barnala 
 where tourists will visit me
 visit my green jungle 
 because I am like grass
 you can chop me 
 you can mow down 
 but I  will sprout again
 and cover everything
