An INDIAN MOVING SCENE

INDIAN MOVIE SCENE

Moses sat sad in an Ambassador Nova

Indira Gandhi was buying a sari

I was saying sorry

to a cameraman from Delhi

My neighbors were not enemies

Friends were in another world

Jesus was a pearl

the driver of a rickshaw

A beggar boy asked for help

The police said not today

kindly go away

Crows kept cawing

Mahatma Gandhi rode a bike

A young man stank of sweat

Hindi music loudly blasted from a cornershop

RAJA RANI

A terrorist kissed his wife

Kahlil Gibran was on guard

A baby gave an eyebrow frown

An old man confessed

I have not eaten in a month

My parents bought some clothes

A five-year old beggar

carried his little sister

to attract

sympathy

his sister said to him in Marathi:

“Man this is fun!”

A Pakistani sat in India

in love with nothing

hoping

America would stop helping the world

making the world help itself

and America could get rid of the stress of having to be number one
