Black and White????!!!!

This is another poem which i liked a lot..

Dear White fella............ Couple of things you should know.....

When I born, I Black,
When I grow up, I Black,
When I go in Sun, I Black,
When I scared, I Black,
When I sick, I Black,
And when I die, I still black.......

And you White fella,
When you born, you Pink,
When you grow up, you White,
When you go in Sun, you Red,
When you cold, you Blue, When you scared, you Yellow,
When you sick, you Green,
And when you die, you Gray.................

And you calling me Colored ???????????

In the Hastiness of life.... Don’t forget to live.........

I got this poem as a forward and liked it very much........ Reminds me of ME :)(:

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.

And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.

Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim,
Just to show that I'm thinking of him."

But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today."

And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.

The Other Side......

I was under the impression that women were emotionally very strong . I still believe it but today i came to know to achieve that level to emotioanl empowerment, the women has to go through a lot of evil and hardships...

Today i went to Anu's (Ahalya's) place. It was her b'day treat (for a change she was giving it beforehand). She is a vibrant writer and she asked me to read this short story which she had recently published on www.desijournal.com. The story was very well written and presented very properly. But I did not like the story. Nothing to to with the story, but well... it kind of shattered my illusions which I had been carrying with me for a long time. I cant explain..... its a kind of mixed feelings. Anu asked me how was the story, I wanted to tell her I did not like it, but I could not say that because the story was extremely well crafted. So i just pointed out the literary specificities in them to her, which I liked. Well I want you to read the story and post your comments.... The link given below....
