RIP Nelson

RIP Nelson adorns walls on Facebook and every social site
He had said,” It ain’t matter if you’re black or white,
As long as you have a good heart and a good head and you do what’s right.”

But, today as I took a walk along the beach, I faced a great irony,
Where, the ‘whites’ were getting a sun tan in the sweltering heat at three.
And as I looked away, I saw Sharukh Khan smiling from a billboard at me
Silently whispering, “Kaaley hain toh kya hua,
Fair and Lovely use karo and you’ll be chikna and gora or gori gori.”

And, on this humorous note I bid farewell to Nelson Mandela, the great
Sir, please do request the almighty for more stalwarts like you,
Hurry....don’t delay as black or white, caste or creed discrimination......that’s our global fate.

Height of Ignorance

As I walked to the park one balmy day
I saw a young girl along the way.
She was sitting on a bench all alone,
crying, desolate and forlorn.
I walked up and asked, “Why do you cry?”
But, for a moment, got no reply.
She frantically replied, “Gorblimey!
The porn I watched has impregnated me.”
At first, I was baffled, I didn’t understand
And then at her ignorance I guffawed, “Oh man!”
“How many movies did you watch?” I asked teasingly
“Three”, she replied, dolefully.

I straight facedly said, “Oh, you watched three movies of porn.
Now, not one, but three offspring will be born.”
She looked at me aghast with fear in her eyes
I thought no more teasing, I’d better make her realise
And said, “Go home and Google ‘How babies are born?’
You need a male counterpart for sure, darling
But...it’s definitely not possible through solitarily watching porn.
