Two Poems – Fallen Rupee and the Syrian Crisis
Photo credit: singhajay from morguefile.com
Our Indian rupee is falling down freely Vis-a Vis American dollar and our economists as well as the financial experts in power are unable to check its fall. On top of that if America attacks Syria what will be the fate of the world specially the developing nations like India. There will be economic slowdown and destruction.
1- Fallen Rupee
Rupee is having a free fall,
Nobody is taking a call.
We have the best of economist and financial experts having all the power,
Where have they gone? Looks as if they have hidden in the bathroom, having a shower,
When the country got independence in 1947 one rupee was equal to one dollar,
After sixty six years of freedom, in 2013 rupee is trading for 66 in exchange to one dollar.
Rupee is having a free fall,
Nobody is taking a call.
Oil import has become costly, foreign education even more costlier,
Meeting the both ends is becoming more difficult than earlier,
Food, clothes and shelter is becoming dear and dearer,
Survival has become now difficult, is becoming clear and clearer.
Rupee is having a free fall,
Nobody is taking a call.

2- The Syrian Crisis
If America attacks Syria,
Everywhere there will be war hysteria.
There is an impending danger, America will attack Syria,
Soon everywhere in the world, There will be war hysteria,
Since in America, for fighting a war there are no criteria,
Let anybody suffer all over, whether it is India or Nigeria.
If America attacks Syria,
Everywhere there will be war hysteria.
Why the biggies have with the war, so much of obsession,
This brings economic slowdown and worldwide recession,
To save the poor countries from this oppression,
UN Security Council should call for an emergency session.
If America attacks Syria,
Everywhere there will be war hysteria.
With the previous wars, nobody is learning a lesson,
Going to war after every few years has become America’s passion.
Developed nations are only interested in selling their arms and ammunition,
Whereas, in developing nations children are dying of malnutrition.
Throughout the world now days this is the prevailing condition,
Mankind will die one day by the mad use of his own creation.
If America attacks Syria,
Everywhere there will be war hysteria.
If the war is declared on Syria, the weak currencies will become a football,
Along with them our rupee will have an uncontrolled and free fall,
We appeal to the world leaders, let this planet be livable,
With the use of chemical weapons don’t make the lives miserable.
We know their ego is hurt soon and they are quite capable,
For heaven’s sake don’t destroy the world, instead find out a solution amenable.
If America attacks Syria,
Everywhere there will be war hysteria.
