Don't Clap Gentlemen
|
The news flashing on tv again and again The nuclear missile succeeded in testing so called gentlemen clapping and chatting Arguing merrily having cup of tea in hand on open tea stall created media hype. An old rustic man had a ladhi( stick) in hand asks innocently what is going on ? brust of laugh listened soon ashamed man utters iam not from moon. i know myself well so you should behave well. What flashing on tv ? Nuclear weapons(all deadly weapons), Old man What it produces? Corpses only, replied someone soon Why we want pruduce corpses? It not for us but for enemies. Who are enemies? all who are different Do they also have such weapons? yes, definitely What will happen if both attack with same weapons and they get success in target? stars in sky so corpses on the land but regret single remains to count and comment deadly silence will rule all over the game of cricket will finish in an over Last question my friend After that disaster will it help in farming ? will it bring happiness for human ? or may i alive to say stories to grandsons? or will our hands remain to clap next time ? No No No No idiot so don't clap gentlemen Let me go now First i will settle dispute so i can save my hands to clap. edited by Arjun Jangid on 11/23/2018 edited by Arjun Jangid on 11/23/2018

Arjun,
This is a very strong poem. It ultimately questions: what is it to be civilized?
The poem challenges colonialist pride, and shows how pride can easily lead to evil that does great harm to others. The poem questions the philosophy of what makes something the enemy. The poem illustrates how making enemies of others is a downfall for oneself and leads to harming others.
It makes the gentleman a symbol of pride, of being civilized, then shows them applauding death, destruction, and barbarism.
The question: what's good about making corpses? is very strong.
Juxtaposing the stars in the sky with the corpses on the ground is an extremely strong poetic image.
The english does need work, but no problem. You can take it to someone that knows English well and work with them. The english is not the poem. The images, contemplation, how things are arranged are the poem, and you've done it very well.
If you have not already written this in Hindi, write it in Hindi to make sure you have a copy of the ideas, images, arrangement just as you like, that way you do not forget. Then, work on the English with a tutor or friend. No problem. Very good.
It is good you are writing about life, about the world. Poet-journalist. This is good. Too many people write about themselves; an unfortunate western habit.

Sir iam thank ful to you. You give your precious time. But i am not agree that we are waste of space. We are super intelligent but we are narrow minded. we are divided on base of nationalities, religions, castes and on base of colour also. if we should work for common welfare. we should have proved ourselves first human.

MOST BEAUTIFUL PERSON
|
As i heard about the contest of most beautiful person I packed my luggage hurriedly and ran in search of that lucky person.
First of all i recalled my teacher leisure time creation of the God if eyes may be judge,the winner was she. But me and my friends were bitten several times so without beautiful heart how can be winner , may be she. Next i saw a body builder well balanced muscles and bones but he was soon lost the contest because he was made for ownself not for others . All physical beauty killed by time so smart personalities lost charm of win the most beautiful person without any more harms.
After i saw a half naked boy sharing his alms with stray dog unwillingly i followed him to declare the most beautiful person . But regret he lost the chance also when I followed him to give the title he kicked the same love chained dog . So the search for most beautiful person is still going on if anybody meet the person who have the beautiful heart at universal place and at universal time. Give regards, title and salaam from me and whole mankind.

The young ox and his mom was running hard to save themselves A cruel boy had stick in hand running behind to strike both. As young blood he tried to revenge but regret it was mom who said "don't hit him and run fast."
Why he is flogging us mom? What is wrong with him? What are faults of us today? How long it will stay mom?
First run fast to save yourself It is long story to tell truth hard Sting of unemployment is killing us Tractor and vihcles who snatched our job are real enemies not the boy behind us. Before their birth we were respected Me as Gomata and you as bull believe me on your birth they served gur to all Do you know why? Because i gave them milk And you helped them in farming and transporting.
Someone in our race spoiled his crop last night in state of starvation the boy is son of my kind master who loved and cared me lot so i stopped to hit my master'son. I am barren due to old age and you are jobless my dear so make habitual to this treat Mom Iam not weak and coward if 'no food without work 'the rule then i will fight for justice i need only job not hate Job for me ,Job for my race Gather all we will block highway we shall fight for right of dignity We want Job We want Job Either give or fight in crusade we shall sacrifice lives or shall get bread with pride.
Don't do this nonsense my son Ladhi charge and scolding are forthcoming yours rewards.
Then who can raise our issues Shall we starve life long ? Shall unemployment come to an end?
