Alas! My Motherland, They Are All In Brown
Here is a poem inspired by two posts on Decolonization and Deideologization by
Niraj Kumar Jha:
Theories are lost
in the dreary deserts
of selfishness of Nations.
Who will save us
from the marauding national pride
of the West?
The modern West
that sees in the Mother Earth an opportunity
to exploit
to molest
to rape
and to kill too
if the profits so demand.
Alas! my Motherland,
Seen around are the clones---
the clones of the West
the clones that are born amidst us.
But all in brown
with all the civilizational weapons
ready to set afire
The Home of Timelessness.
