International Politics & Other POEM


International Politics

Are you sure you can solve the
Palestine-Israelis problem?
Please come forward and tell us how
you would do it.
Maybe you have the answer

***
Some political leaders pretend not
to know the corruption prevailing
in their country
Not because they are stupid
But because the corrupt people were the
voters who put them on the platform
When those corrupt people are in the jail house
who will vote for the guy who is leading now?

***
You need the people below you to push you up
That’s the only reason some leaders pretended
not to know of any wrongdoings

***
Can you please tell me
Have you ever heard of people who confirm
that only honest guys should vote for him?
If a guy can openly admit
that corruption is his government’s
big problem
I think he is a great guy
You need to give him
time to look into the problem
Magicians don’t help you to solve the problems
They can't even solve their own problems

***
The irritating China-men are found at every corner
of the earth
They do well in their studies
When they have the chance they seldom fail
either Bachelor, Master or PhD
Many other races have a failure rate of about 50%
when their children attend university colleges

***
During convocations
you can see and hear Western parents shout
with joys when their kids go forward
to receive the certificates
The China-men’s parents do the same
but very few of them have the chance
to attend Convocations
The expenses are too high
Won’t you run cheap airlines and hotels
to cater for this group of tourists?

***
Please don’t be afraid
These China-men are not interested to
take over any country
They are there to make money
When they make money they pay taxes
Your governments will benefit
including every man on the street
Microcosmically, it benefits you
Macrocosmically, it benefits the whole world

***

When a Prime Minister was asked
why he purchased the China-men’s goods
His answer was that
he would buy goods which are the cheapest
if the qualities are equal
regardless of the country of origin.
Which bloke cannot understand
this business theory?
So, please make your services cheap

***
You must wish people well
Your wishes will result in your own wellbeing
And you will live longer
Don’t you believe it?
Ask the psychiatrists.

Working Attitude


Before they start off for the day
There’s the common song- and- dance
Which they value dearly
To them, life must move on very slowly
They always asked
If the jobs for the day
involve life-and-death
Otherwise, they say
Sit down, have a cigarette and a cup of coffee
and talk on what you saw last night at the pub
Was there any new girl coming from Thailand
or Indonesia ?

***

Why must they spread noxious poison everywhere
mesmerizing others by
fanning the fire of sexual attraction?

***


Here, Jack, these are free cigarettes and lighters
from our subcontractors
You must learn to smoke
to prove you’re a man
Does it matter if you die sooner
But enjoy a fantastic life ?
Why should you live for a century
if life is dull and poor, empty and miserable ?
***

Let the choppers fly off
The offshore materials can go off
by the next chopper tomorrow
Why should we allow those nuts
to rush our life onshore?
We only have this life
Let’s enjoy it the way it should be
Just like James Sadang said
He had bedded “a thousand over “girls
What’s your record?
Can we beat him!
***

Beware, my friends
Don’t mingle with mean-spirited people
They delight when things go wrong
They create tempests in a teacup
by be-clouding right and wrong
by the strength of their words
Don’t they have to knock down
all the competitors in order to reach the submit ?
Or do they enjoy the smell of blood
and hindering people
to drag others down to their own level.?


End

(The correct English Usage should be "over a thousand" not 'a thousand over '.)
