Amidst Mexico & Canada …- BEJOY SEBASTIAN XAVIER ( IIDC ECONOMICS)


 
Amidst Mexico and Canada
Lies Uncle Sam.
He is blessed
With multicultural children,
With a pool of best brains in the world.
They love Him very much. Why ?
For the care that he gives them.
For the protection which he ensures.
For the individual freedom he grants.

His children spends their good time
In the wonderful Hollywood and Los Angeles
In the expensive Beverly Hills,
In the beautiful beaches of Miami,
In the breathtaking waterfalls at Niagara,
In the marvelous mountains of Colorado.
And the incredible canyons of Utah.
He has got a fantastic land.

He is really blessed.
For almost all of his grown-up children are professionals.
They consider every business and
Every employment as a profession.
There are no biases in the minds of children.
To see an engineer or lawyer
Or a medical practitioner as superior to
A professor of political science
Or a musician or a boxer.
His children study in the best places.
Many mothers from far-off lands
Send their children to Him.
For unmatched exposures.
From the distant varsities
Of Wisconsin and Iowa
To the prestigious, busy varsities
Of Harvard, Yale, and Columbia.

In the Empire City,
A grandma stands lonely on an island.
She is Libertas from France.
She bears the torch of enlightenment
In her right hand
And a book of freedom
In her left hand for scores.
Within a few years, she has become
The most famous symbol
Of Uncle Sam and His children.
She invites new friends
And sometimes adopts and baptizes them
Into the large family of Uncle Sam.
She stands as a symbol of
Companionship of Uncle Sam with France.
She never returned to her homeland.
She now works for Him,
To beckon children and mothers
From both nearer and remote lands.

The motion pictures made by Uncle,
His children and their friends
Are renowned all over the world
For their originality and superior quality.
He gives the Academy Awards,
For the children talented in
The art of making motion pictures
All over the world.

The want-satisfying-system of Uncle’s family
Is the largest in the world.
Making the most advanced things and services
Available to his children and his trade partners.
Today, any drastic happening within his family
Has its impacts
On other families around the world.

One could get a glimpse of architecture
Of Aunt Espana in the homes,
Buildings and streets
Where Uncle's children live.
Amazing new styles of construction
Has been developing every day by his children.

Almost all the languages spoken
On the earth’s surface can find a speaker
In the family of Uncle Sam.
And most of his children
Speaks English developed by Him,
In a peculiar way which is different
From what the children of
The queen of the Great Island speak.
Many of them loves to communicate
In Spanish like the children dwelling
In Texas and New Mexico.
And also in French like the ones in Louisiana.

The lives of many of the children has been inspiring
Like Tommy Edison, for inventors
The Honest Abe, for politicians
Steve Jobs and Warren Buffet, for business.
Sylvester Stallone for acting.
There are innumerable examples in various fields.
But I love these children very much.

But, it is worth-condemning that,
Some of his children waste a lot of money
When they look for material pleasures
In the casinos and sex shops
Of Las Vegas and New York City.

Most of the children have no trust
In the institution of marriage,
And they prefer just to live together.
Racism hasn’t gone completely
From the minds of some of them.
New life styles are sprouting out.
But many of them seek inner peace
Through spiritual exercises.
The practitioners of martial arts,
Qi Gong, Zen and Yoga has been increasing
Day by day.


Whatever it may be,
A perfect mix of diversified life styles
The unique experience with Uncle and his children
The best education in the world
Friendship with global-minded children
Unforgettable travel experiences
And many other factors continues
To attract children of diversified
Parentage from various parts and cultures
Of the globe to the lap of Uncle Sam.
As he instructed,
The Libertas grandma standing on a gigantic pedestal
Facing the Atlantic calls out,

“Come to Uncle, He will take care of you well”.
