Boycotting What Others Write

Rating: 0.5


People who's first language isn't English,
obviously were born some where else.
No, in America we haven't allowed cattle to
roam the streets while people starved.
Some kid in Africa has to hide to write
a poem and then post it here.
Save the drag and your lies by coming to
America and not
finding a way to live with other's
that speak and look like you.
I know most here didn't vote for Donald Trump,
I've already seen him say on t.v. more than once
that sex offenders here should be killed or have
their you know what's cut off.
The ride from the top to the bottom of the tallest
mountain is made smoother when millions
have gone there before you.
I've visted a few poem sites in India,
they all wanted money, even though I couldn't read
or write the language.
Visitor's from places like Syria number none.
Yea,
You who think your so much better than everyone else.
Iran, Iraqi or Saudi Arabia are quietly instructed
to here not apply.
Of course people like me and the crow a few other's
would where your from be strung up or stoned.
Cultural superstition being what it is, who in their
right mind would burn bodies where they drink,
bath and wash.
Not over here though because of t.v. and the internet
we or I should say some understand why it's done.
Boycott the cliques that you live in but won't,
and while America might not be now as once it was.
Because a contribution from any or all is what's
in the best interest of U.S. all.
And here after saying to you
what I just said,

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Denis Mair 09 December 2016

The people of whom you write have brought international flavor to this site. They need the English language as much as we do, to serve as a unifying national language. The people in southern India, who speak Tamil or Kannada or Malyalam, don't want to force their children to study Hindi as a standard language in school. They would prefer that they study their own regional language plus the international language of English. English is the world language now, so it is bound to take on different flavors. You yourself have praised the writing of a certain poetess whose name begins with L. Each of her poems is full of swirling colors and thoughts. Besides her own talent, this is also due to the rich mythology she absorbed from her culture. I for one am glad for an infusion of such colors into English.
