Spotless landscapes
Simplified lives
All needs met
Recession
hurts
…just, mildly
larger pleasures
opt out
for smaller ones
They hear about
But feel not
the tribulations
of the third world
A world where
Every effort is
a struggle
bringing with it
despair & dejection
Making every triumph
a much worthier
achievement!
Nevertheless
It is my familiar
ground
My world
Where sorrows reap
bounty harvests
& existence
becomes therefore
More meaningful
So I ask myself
What am I doing here,
In this foreign land
So I ask myself
ReplyDeleteWhat am I doing here,

Wonder if all NRIs have this feeling.
Doubt it-but then that's what makes some of us different! :)
