One Bow Was Keen, One Unseen

His bow to the monarch was no mean, To dragon’s might as mute as unseen; And signal came unfurled To the bi-polar world, There’s reason for us to see nigh green. _______________________________________________________ President Obama’s bow to the Japanese Emperor was rather too deep; excessive, many might think. There were no such apparent bows in China, his next stop. But he returned home almost empty-handed, offering too many concessions: Visit of Dalai Lama postponed; Tibet declared as part of China; China’s role in Indo-Pak dispute conceded; and many on the economic and trade fronts. And all this while India kept getting homilies and lip-service! _______________________________________________________ -Happenings | 05.11.09 |
