Vera Sidhwa Poems

Why here comes the senator from our state,
Bringing with him a sweet speech about reform.
'Let's end war, we want peace, we want trust.'
'We want what you the people want, and that's a must.'
...

And then it came to me,
What I most wanted to be.
As the days turned into long drawn years,
And life was no more worries and fears;
...

Dont ask you? Why?
Why such a frown,
Why are you so down?
Cut it out, you look like a clown.
...

He sees the world and it is bright,
And all the children's eyes are light.
But there is hope gone away in his life,
For he cares not for mirth or strife.
...

Hoggy the cop, was a very nice guy
Till the riot broke out in 1972...
They tell me he beat up some hippie
But I wasn't there to testify.
...

Seesaw Tip had too much.
And now the plank sees and saws.
With children laughing loud
Up and Down but just not right.
...

He blocked my progress,
He stopped me short,
He took away my looks,
She tore up my books,
...

They produced Fast Track
Then the remote for quicker manipulations,
While your computer offered you a match correction,
So quick that it's technique alluded you.
...

When I leave you for a while,
I think I love you more.
My fantasies of you soar.
...

Cyber agony got me hurt.
My Internet grabbed my hand pulling me in.
Whizzing through electronics and what not.
I reached an opinion of the state of our world.
...
