Poem Title:
Poem
Is there no place for us ? In this world of work and fuss ? We came to fulfil our dreams Leaving our noble motherland with goodbye tear streams We are prisoners of a dark dank cell called race Named so because of the exploitation due to the colour in our face When I read about recent racial killings My spine underwent chillings The human in me cried , “ HOLY CHRIST “ Why America, why this new twist ? This event shall mark the start of a new genocidal war Which is sure to leave a non-erasable scar We were afflicted by a chronic disease called BRAIN DRAIN That forced us to auction our talents to another plain We curbed our ITs to get job in Wall Street We sacrificed our banks for a Goldman Sachs sheet But why did we do such a fatal and lethal mistake ? To be gunned down before the eye’s of our blood relation’s future at stake ? Or to be wrapped down as orphaned dead carcass ? Or to let our heart stabbed down by – “YOU ARE AN ALIEN“ dialogues ? I just can’t believe these scenes That were once abolished by noble genes Why did Swami Vivekanand cry DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS Why did you go along with Martin Luther King Jr. To fight the racial discrimination career ? You were the one who gave Rosa Parks How come could you forget Mandela too soon ? You had Kofi Annan as your U.N secretary You honoured Gandhiji and Modiji with a place in your Madame tussauds You called upon Kalam ji to precide as NASA’s wise lord Why did you help Malala or Satyarti? You had experienced the legacies of Mr. Obama and Lincoln You awarded Nobel for Wangari Mathai for her green belt You could have left behind the legacies of the Olympians Why did you sing “ WE ARE THE WORLD “ and “ WE'RE IN THE SAME BOAT BROTHER “ ? With all sorts of races joined together , oh well whatever Why did you Oscar us for Life of Pi , Slumdog Millionaire ? Did Racial discrimination come in command then ? None Were of your colour or your demeanour Friends and Children of the world listen Don’t see black bodies as illegal Don’t see Coloured bodies as irrational Don’t avoid Hindus Muslims or other religions Love is the only message of every faith All we ever really need is your love Its your talent and personality that should overshadow the world now Instead of experiencing the darkness of the tomb Experience the message and faith of the womb Be a patriot , Not a dark nationalist tyrant If you don’t push this task of unification The world will die of disintegration Yes Dudes
