Nandii Reywal, the London settled Indian Lawyer challenged me. Bihari Babuu loves challenges. He has defeated all the pehelwans in his village. He’ll make Nandii bite dust too. Aaan do!
Part I- Racism
My buffaloes are black,
My cows are white,
And they both give milk.
Considerations about colour of beings
Have been give last rites
Yet they emerge, sometimes
As fresh as the rainbow’s hues
With all seven colours, glaring at you
But here is yours truly, Bihari Babuu,
For him milk is important.
Milk; as pure as white light.
Seven things, united as one.
(The healthiest known diet).
Part II- Communalism
My little herd of buffaloes, cows and goats
Walking together, disciplined, they roam
Eating leaves, getting fat and giving milk.
Happy is Bihari, happy is the ilk.
My little herd of buffaloes, cows and goats
Sometimes fight, horns strike
Each other and kill. Strife
Makes them unproductive, thin and dead.
Sad is Bihari, sad is the creed.
Part III- Hey Partners! Don’t be a prick. Treat your associates nicely
My cows and buffaloes
Are voiceless.
I treat them well
(Calling them ‘your highness’)
And give them a voice;
A voice a resounding murmur maketh,
A murmur which breaks
Earthy walls and the boundaries laid
Between the employer and the employees
And makes them mates.
PS - I thank my alter ego, Legal Poet for inspiration. BTW Legal Poet, I think I am better than you.
