The regarded Third World
Sitting next to kin
Head’s turning left and right
Hearing their bickering and fighting
Observing their gestures
On how to act to pressures
Even a bit grinning
As she’s not the expert of moral coaching
Calamities of all kinds
Have struck her being
From fortuitous to mortal havocs
From minor to major
But she's just like a bamboo
She goes where the wind blew
Bending a little bit
But never surendering
Pledges of instant glory
From First World Countries
Were they real and sincere?
A baloney if you will ask me
Underneath her bewitching beam
I can see she’s weeping
For the love she so seeking
To becoming Second World being
Yor are truely a poet...pearl of the orient...
there is confusion in every country...all has
their problems...be happy in your own country...
this is where God wanted you to be...that's why
you are a Pearl of the orient.....thanks for reading
my haiku.
isn't it funny that the 1st world(s) have become "Third World(s) after they have been (how shall we say this) raped, pillaged, stolen from, beat down, degraded ( ok time to stop and breathe...........
good one, but make the first few stansas rhyme, like you do with the LAST ones.
i like it though :o)
Third World is not a place or country it is a condition.
is there a first World? Yes the place to which we are born.
So why are lands of green fields, emeral seas, powderblue skies and white crystal sands a third world...
You were born in the first world - the land of our ancestors - the place of our begining...
the point of origin - Third world is the place we now find ourselves beset by concrete and plastic - the hubs of our financial universe... We need our "Institutions" but sometimes the simple things of importance to the little man like adequate food, shelter, clothing is sacrificed for the "big picture". What is that picture?
Still - all who remember their true heritage remain "pearls" in this human sea... Decorating this somtimes cold and lonely uglyness with palatable and delicate words...
I enjoyed this poem - keep writing - keep the faith...
