(233) Who Are They To Dishonour Our Beloved?

Rating: 2.8


Who are they to dishonour our beloved?
Who do they think they are?
Who are those cultureless boors?

Dear Dr.Kalam* Sir,
You took that matter so silly...
But, how sad..
It is a matter of national disgust...

How can those Continental Airlines people
Act like continental idiots?
Checking your body, luggage
And your shoes...
Even after overcoming diplomatic immunity...

If they did this to you in our own motherland,
What will they do to the prisoners of
Abu-Ghraib and Guantanamo?
How volatile is their culture!
(Vultures have no culture!)

Dear Kalam Sir,
You could have left those shoes for them
To remain as their crest-jewel...

Dear Mr.Obama,
Power is not infinite...
And one day, you will also have to
Step out of power...
Your own people are doing research, even now:
How to insult you in every step....
Then you will understand
The insult what we suffer now.....
But, sad, why our politicians don't understand
The feelings of people?

*Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam, Former President of Bharat (India)

YOU HAVE ECHOED THE FEELINGS OF MANY OF US HERE! KESAV JI IS DEAD RIGHT! DESPITE ALL THE SWEET TALKS AND PROMISES, IT IS EVIDENT TO ALL CLEAR THINKING PEOPLE, THAT AMERICAN SYMPATHIES ARE WITH OUR WESTERN NEIGHBOUR! MAY BE THEY WILL LEARN WHEN ANOTHER INCIDENT TAKE PLACE! THEN, LET US NOT WRITE POEMS IN SYMPATHY FOR THEM! 10! - RAJ NANDY

Ignorance is not an excuse...nor is arrogance a sign of superiority...a gesture always speaks volumes of the culture behind...thanks for coming out with these strong condemning words on this national insult It's surprising to see Obama hasn't reacted to this sorry incident yet...He must think about a situation where Bill Clinton or George Bush or their likes visiting India and getting such treatment...10
