This poem is about , how the english is used now a days. an encounter between languages and the role of english.

(Sir, me ok…..you ok.

Keep in touch)

 

The loss of the pride

From ages we have

Preserved

Don’t translate English

In your language

The result is chaos.

Once upon a time

French, German & Persian

We’re dining together

They ordered three separate words

But one English word ``Grapes’’

The waiter was furious, how

They irritate him with strange

Words, till the English came to his

Rescue!

The grammar now imprisoned

What it used to be a law & order

Now that order is raped

 By the IPod generation

Now that order is raped
By the IPod generation

That is an awesome ending there and sums up so much nicely.

:: well... i don't think it's fair to judge anyone's grammar... correct usage depends on the education system and the quality of teachers... i can't blame students for the inadequacies of the government...

I have already wrote article on grammer to the goverment civil society. The quality of teaching matters but the grammer is very easy to learn and we should explore easy tools to learn it. This poem is infact to the west as well , they lack grammer as well , when it comes to the writing in english. I am not a (Grammer Nazi) but I learned it very easily by those people who have no big degrees in english. You are right , the quality of teaching does matter but its been 300 years since english came to India and Anglo saxon english infact prospered here.

:: well... i guess we'll have to agree to disagree... i don't think it's easy to learn grammar... it takes a lot of effort and practice... and most people don't have the time for it...
