Analysis of The Value of Small Things.
brijmohansajal 1946 (India)
A small spark takes a formidable form,
One has to fight hard to extinguish it,
A small prick becomes a big quarrel,
To pacify the quarrel, the police is called,
A small thorn becomes a chain of life,
Gets so stuck that has to be operated on,
A tiny molecule becomes an atom,
Which becomes the cause of extreme destruction,
These little things affect our life immensely,
A small seed becomes a big tree,
And these things are overlooked as small things.........

About this poem
How small things effect our lives and create a big havoc, we overlook for being a small thing but when the same thing becomes a big issue then only we realise the value of small things.
