A Humble Letter To The Queen

Rating: 5.0


Honored Madam,
I take this opportunity to wish you a happy birth day as I saw in the BBC the celebrations,
Oh! What a lovely pageant.
My blessings, you may long-lived!
Sri Lanka is once a colony under your kingdom.
Thank God we got independence.
But Madam you left your precious friend in our tiny country
And his name is ' Divide & Rule' a real gentleman.
One day some innocents died of a bomb explosion
But your precious BBC showed only the empty bus.
I think some defect to their cameras?
This ethnic cleansing is a by-product of your factory 'The Imperialism'.
Never mind Madam we can forget the past as we are Sri Lankan.
But I humbly request a favor Madam,
if possible could you please minimize?
You're prominent BBC's (Prima Donna) partial yelp!
Thanking you in anticipation of a kind and a favorable reply.
I remain Madam,
Yours most obediently,
A scribbler,
Nimal Dunuhinga

I dedicate this poem to Miss or Mrs. Dumeetha.Luthra (BBC correspondent in Sri Lanka) for your prominent double standard.

This poem is full of strong feeling, I could feel the frustration of a voice that needed to be heard, Nimal, the fact that you are so polite and the fact that you can forgive, make you, in my mind a great person and a great poet of words Love Duncan X

Her Imperial Highness, the Queen, can not even keep her family straight. So what are her qualifications to rule over other nations. I think she is actually George Bush in drag! He can't keep his family, or his empire straight either. Great poem, Nimal! How about writing the response you think you would get from Her Lowness! A ten.

Satire is a powerful weapon to use against indifference. It is to be hoped that your unstamped letter will reach its destination. It is well worth reading. Sandra
