India whose time is now

China refusing to kowtow
Trump bends over backward to bow,
Blaming ‘no good’ media
For powwow with India
Whose time in world he feels is now,
Yet, wearing horse's blinds,
He hardly knows nor finds
How his own time’s ticking somehow.

Note: At long last it dawns on Trump that ‘India’s time in the world is now’—suddenly after downplaying the country for long-- imposing 50 percent tariff, calling it a hellhole, cozying up with Pakistan against India, undermining QUAD agenda…Why this late realization? Perhaps, after failing to get a much-anticipated warm hug from China’s XI, reality has dawned on him at last.
