As a Goan of South Asian descent,
some people take note of a certain date,
a date like August 15: Partition.
Given your submission period starts
on this date and ends on April 1, known
as April Fools Day to pranksters worldwide,
no one will mind if I find it funny,
of course, not funny ha-ha, but funny
for the fact that people don't have a clue.
Simply put, the British made a good joke
of leaving India and Pakistan,
under the auspices of their good will,
the British have no good will, no good faith,
how they start wars they cannot even end?
Asians from the Subcontinent take note,
stupidity in government is not
ignorance but willful neglect, a slap
across the face, with nearly two million
needlessly dead, the numbers could be less,
difficult to make a joke of the dead,
even though the British did
such a good job of making a shambles,
certain people wonder how South Asians
enter into British politics with
no sense of irony, well, not unlike
the Mayor of London, Sadiq Aman Khan.
