with love from africa


This poem was nominated by UN as the best poem of 2008, Written by an African Kid

When I born, I black


When I grow up, I black


When I go in Sun, I black


When I scared, I black


When I sick, I black


And when I die, I still black


And you white fellow


When you born, you pink


When you grow up, you white


When you go in sun, you red


When you cold, you blue


When you scared, you yellow


When you sick, you green


And when you die, you gray



And you calling me COLORED?

Confused Nation..


where a policeman kills a leopard that is actually attacking a villager, and instead of being felicitated he is booked for the crime of saving a human being at the insistence of some Wildlife Organisations.

A nation where Rice is Rs.40/- per kg and SIM Card is free

Where a pizza you have ordered reaches home faster than an ambulance or police, even if you were being murdered or having a heart attack
Where a car loan is charged at 5% but an education loan, so necessary for our youth is charged an interest of 12%

A nation where students with 45% get into elite institutions through the quota system and those with 90% are sent away because of merit.

Where a millionaire buys a cricket team, spending crores instead of donating the money to any charity. Where two IPL teams were auctioned at 3300 crores, yet still a poor country where people starve for two square meals per day.

A country where footwear is sold in AC showrooms, but the vegetables we eat, are sold on the footpath and very often next to garbage dumps.

Where everybody wants to be famous, not by doing good for others, but by looting others and finally getting their names in the newspapers through some scam or other!

It’s a strange nation we live in, where assembly complex buildings get ready within a year while public bridges, flyovers and sea links take several years even to get off the drawing board and another decade to be completed

We are a nation where two brothers fight with each other for the nation’s spoils, but the nation doesn’t know that the two of them are cleverly looting the nation while we watch their mock battles.

We have malls, and sky-rises, with slums forming their boundary wall.

A country where men and women squat on railway tracks, with no where else to go while watching them from windows, are couples with three bathrooms and one for the guests

A country where politicians who are supposed to serve the people accept money from the same people they are supposed to serve, then take a salary from the government for their services to the people

We are a nation where we talk in hushed whispers about the corruption in the country and then dig into our pockets to bribe a cop when we are caught cutting a red light

Think about it; we are a confused nation, aren’t we?

The New ABC's of LIFE .... :)


A is for apple, and B is for boat,
That used to be right, but now it won't float!
Age before beauty is what we once said,
But let's be a bit more realistic instead.


Now
The Alphabet:


A's for arthritis;
B's the bad back,
C's the chest pains, perhaps car-d-iac ?


D is for dental decay and decline,
E is for eyesight, can't read that top line !
F is for fissures and fluid retention,
G is for gas which I'd rather not mention.


H is high blood pressure--I'd rather it low,
I is for incisions with scars you can show.
J is for joints, out of socket, won't mend,
K is for knees that crack when they bend.
L 's for libido, what happened to sex?
M is for memory, I forget what comes next.
N is neuralgia, in nerves way down low;
O is for osteo, bones that don't grow !


P for prescriptions, I have quite a few, just give me a pill and I'll be good as new !


Q is for queasy, is it fatal or flu?
R is for reflux, one meal turns to two.


S is for sleepless nights, counting my fears,
T is for Tinnitus; bells in my ears !
U is for urinary; troubles with flow;
V for vertigo, that's 'dizzy,' you know.


W for worry, NOW what's going 'round?
X is for X ray, and what might be found.
Y for another year I'm left here behind,
Z is for zest I still have-- in my mind.


I've survived all the symptoms, my body's deployed,
and I'm keeping twenty-six doctors fully employed!!!
