Love Poem No - 59 : I AM AN ISLANDER

I AM AN ISLANDER

I am an islander

In the midst of the Pacific,

Born slim and slender

Because of radiation.

            My forefathers and kith and kin

                                    Gigantic and sturdy built;

But I am born to shed tears

And curse my invalid state always.

Look at my brotheren with horns and tails,

Not because of evolution;

Just because of your mad horrors

That posterity will never endure.

                                    With big hearts in nations small

                                    We brave the waves still to thrive,

You big nations without hearts

Burn us alive, don’t you learn?

Dr. Karickam
