The third world


How befitting would it be
if the third world would wake up
from its slumber, from this amiss,
put the casual killing of the blacks
behind, let George Floyd sleep in
peace.

How benefitting would it be
if all the non-whites would unite
and engage in building their
deserted, neglected motherlands
and make them as beautiful,
as comfortable as the first world
to end for good, their horrendous
nightmare.

How wonderful would it be
if there were no protests,
no badmouthing, no more spread
of negatives, of fake dreams,
but a real display of resilience,
vim, and vigor,
a firm and determined desire
to rebuild, redesign the ignored land,
to give each other a helping hand
to reconstruct and realize
the long-lost paradise.

Now is the time to pull in their socks
and begin the journey at all costs
towards growth, and development
to breathe under their own firmament,
to see there are no immigrants
who get lured in the first world
to earn money, a good lifestyle;
let the third world transform their countries
into lands of similar opportunities.

O, black Peter! O, Pied Piper!
they could not listen to you;
what were you thinking
when you were lying flat
on the ground, and battling to
breathe? Were you telling
them to leave this foreign land
for good, or were you asking them
to fight meaningless wars
right here, demand justice
from those who don’t have the means
to offer equality and peace!

How wonderful would it be
if all the non-whites belonging
to all collars; the sincere, hard workers,
the cream of erudite scholars
would concur and unite
to change their fate once and for all.

How fascinating would it be
if the non-whites found an organization
whose mission would be
to build comfort and happiness
through industries and businesses
in their underestimated lands
to set all non-whites free.

O, my Beloved! O, my Friend!
give them the grit and strength
so they could put an end
to this mindless killing,
so it’s not just wishful thinking;
they could discover peace within
their winsome, untouchable soul,
O, my magical Tutor! 
Help them achieve this goal.
