Poetry: Love Is Not Part Of Our Culture

February 14, 2007

Love is not part of our culture
Before we let it become a fixture
We'll reveal our uncivilized nature

We'll beat up lovers in Meerut
We'll even harass them in Surat

We'll vandalize shops and break every window glass
We'll prevent other people from being commercially crass

Afterall we have to protect our culture
From the influence of the Western vulture

It would be the ABSOLUTE END if we acknowledged St. Valentine
We'd rather much turn our insecurities and intolerance into a smug, self-righteous shrine

Love, as you see, is not part of OUR culture!!
