Obama and Brown Discuss About Taliban
(July,29,2009 )
************ ********* ********* *****
Obama:
To the warning of the world, Bush paid no heed,
The pangs of his venture, now I am unable to bear.
Brown:
You echo the voice of my heart, my dear friend, !
This Blair legacy has brought laughter and jeer.
Obama:
But as mighty nations, we are to save our grace,
Coming empty , we will lose all our awe and fear.
Brown:
Our army says, they are giants in human shape,
For them, mountains and rivers are no barrier.
Our commanders tremble while narrating the tale,
'These Talibans fight with smile, and die with cheer.
Obama:
I have used all the wiles, my mind could conceive,
I deployed Pak-Afghan stooges from front and rear.
Our media gave their profile as most demonic race,
To our misfortune, all this made their tide stronger.
Brown:
History traces millions of our graves in that land ,
Russians have the memory even darker and bleaker.
This time we believed in NATO and your drones,
To erase the past stigma, and open a new chapter.
Obama:
Our weapons and drones have yielded no result,
The death of innocents has exposed us to sneer.
When we think, our bombs finished their creed,
They emerge again, with a spirit, bolder and purer.
Brown:
I confide in you brother, my generals have told,
‘They bury their dead with eyes having no tear.’
I am convinced from what I have heard and seen,
Each drop of their blood produces a new warrior.
Obama:
I think it sagacious to discard these brutish folk,
And declare our move as a humanitarian gesture.
We both must call it the folly of Bush and Blair,
And pretend, we are peaceful and morally superior.
Brown:
I admire your genius, and endorse your views,
If we fail to withdraw , our future is drearier .

Zardari and Karzai Before Obama
(May,7,2009)
*****************************
To reaffirm our slavery to the American Lord,
To renew our vow to wipe out the Taliban threat;
To wash out from our lands the traces of faith,
We have come before you with folded hands.
We are at your feet in this crusade against Islam,
We echo your words to term it as a ‘war on terror’;
Your praise for us is the way to our lasting peace,
For us, Allah's Will is meaningless before your joy.
Thousands of innocents , your bombs have claimed,
We decry you just on lips, but seek your refuge ;
We can never dare to speak against our masters,
We hold our chairs under the shade of your shoes.
But with trembling voice, we wish to bare the truth,
None can extinguish the Afghan’s divine flames ;
For this reality, we are ready to offer our heads,
We both are bound to suffer the horrors of shame.

Obama to Zardari and Karzai
( May,9,2009 )
************ ********* ********
I am deeply distressed with you, my lovely slaves!,
Still you are not fully drenched with Muslim blood;
Hundreds or thousands is too little a figure for me,
Like my predecessor, I wish to see it like a flood.
Go on a ruinous prowl , as a mad and frenzied dog,
Which seldom barks, but believes in biting more;
Never be swayed by religious emotions or appeals,
For you both, I am your Lord from land to the shore.
Keep your eyes glued to the chair, and not beyond,
If you are slack in your duty, and belie our hope;
The flames of my wrath will devour you both,
With your people chasing you with a noose of rope
