While You CanA Poem by Nothing Personal
Write, Write, Write.
Because the pen is mightier than the sword But it may not always remain so. And the thoughts as well as the Blue-Gray ink may dry out. Fight, Fight, Fight. Because only the fittest can survive Was the only mantra we have learnt From our jungle days. And also because Peace apparently lies At the end of Hostility, they say. Metaphorically, for Existence For Human right, For Position, Honor and just a good Price. Kiss, Kiss, Kiss. Because the lips can become scurvy and rough Or be made of Steel or recycled plastic Such that succulent emotions may evaporate From a metallic or electronic heart. Get at it while the time is still ripe. Eat, Eat, Eat. Because eight year old boys in North Africa Are Starving for the last six days And Walmart has cheap food prices Starting from Thanksgiving till Christmas. And forcibly overfed chickens are slaughtered Just to make that lovely teriyaki bowl You serve. Drive, Drive, Drive. Because there will be no more lovely places In America within the next twenty years. The climate skeptics have forewarned A Global meltdown - Unforgiving and Unavoidable. Who will quench the thirst? Also burn Gasoline as long as Saudi billionaires Don't run out of business. Even if the damn 3rd world countries Are forced to buy shamelessly overpriced oil Travel in Buses And sweat so and so much extra. Search, Search, Search. Because you may find your lost I-Pad Old Notes, Camus book, your birthday present Given to you on your eleventh birthday. But you may also find Bin Laden And save trillions of dollars , Human lives And Anthropogenic modification of the Afghan landscape. Show, Show, Show. Show them the gateway to your three storeyed house Your lovely wife, And the Brand new BMW you bought. How the American Dream can still be realized? Damn those recession suckers. Your overpriced education, Wharton MBA degree 250 K Job at McKinsey and Company contrasts With those who lose jobs every other day And the debts rise as the Mortgage cheaters Run and fly. Do what you can. Do while you can. © Nothing Personal. December 17, 2010. © 2010 Nothing PersonalFeatured Review
