A Donkey Poem, Inspired By I Am What I Am, You Are What You Are Poem Of Gnrao Rao

Rating: 2.5


Donkeys, camels, horses, giraffes
do deserve human love
though donkeys the most
the beast of burden
no matter how humbly
he serves mankind
he is still a donkey, an idiot!

Dear donkey
you should have been a cow
the people would have worshipped you
even would have sipped your urine
would have used your droppings
to warm their huts, to cook their food
to plaster their floors, temples' floors
to live on it, to worship on it
how come your droppings are not as holy as holy cows'.

You must like Gandhi ji
march with fellow donkeys in the streets
go on hunger strikes, have satyagrahs
and protest not to be called a donkey
as a paki doesn't want to be a paki.

You must demand donkey worship
you must demand equality
you are not less than a cow
though a coward you might be
taking all beatings of your master
whom you serve faithfully
and he still calls you a donkey. What shame!

Not even once he puts flower
garlands around your neck,
nor ever puts a tilak on your head,
sometime in this kal-yuga I wonder
if you are a donkey or your master is.

Your poem gives me more to think about our poor farmers, soldiers and fishermen. Lip sympathy is more.Action speaks louder than words.

I like it very much. It is very nice. we are very good in hero worship. We honor the film celebrities, sports personalities but we surely forget to recognize the hard working, self -sacrificing Soldiers, farmers and fishermen. We are very good in offering 21 gun salute but we care nothing for the martyrs. We talk of great things to establish new orders but forget the poor people sacrifices. The farmers are not cared for not we link the rivers of India and solve the water crisis and we lose the lives of the fishermen under some reason or other. we give no protection to them nor some crew accompanying them to safeguard their precious lives.Action speak Louder than words.
