You go to my
town.
People are
there golden brown.
Blue and black are their eyes.
Yes,
My town is
famous,
Famous for
long trees,
Famous for
small hills.
Once, a
king kept there his crown.
Slept, a
long sleep.
Looked for
far,
And planted
trees.
The king’s
place is the fort now.
The place
where he used to hunt,
They have
made an enclosure,
Beneath the
sun.
And now
call it an animal park.
The brown people
mostly laugh,
They are old stuff.
You know
them,
They are
all friendly and helpful.
And have
known many good stories.
Will you go
to my town?
Will you go
and pick some Margosa leaves?
Will you
give me my name,
If they
have remembered me.
Will you
pay homage to my town?
My legs can’t
climb the hills.
Can’t shake
hands with the browns.
Looking at
the starry sky,
I try to
remember,
Where I
learnt noun, verb and pronoun.
Adios!
