WORLD IS BURNING [Satirical Poem]
WORLD IS BURNING [Satirical Poem]
The world is burning,
Where is my lighter?
They say put a bucket of water
Or use the fire extinguisher,
Call the fire station immediately.
But I see no fire.
There is a war going on.
What war? I couldn’t see anything.
Are your parents fine?
Because mine are sleeping.
Are they breathing?
Yes, they are.
Where is the war?
Open the door.
Where is the key?
Here it is.
I heard Iran is burning.
But it’s far.

I heard Iran is burning.
But it’s far.
Yes in middle East
US bombed it.
But what about Indians in both countries?
The PM would help.
Oh yes, our PM.
Oh, the lady is crying in downtown.
What happened?
His son studies medicine in Russia.
The man had a stroke.
Why?
“His kid is in Mexico and riots broke out.”
Oh.
How can I help?
How can I stop the crash-out?
Sorry My parents are calling me,
Is it satire?
Don’t ridicule — it’s serious.
But the world is burning.
It will get used to the heat.
Let it.
Mom, I am making tea
To read with the newspaper.
Mom, it says
The word of the day is —
Inferno.

Sorry My parents are calling me,
I need to go.
They are worried.
The headline says Indian Muslims would be killed.
Where can they hide?
My friend Sameena is crying,
Her cousin is in Iran.
Mom, I am going to Sameena.
The Iran President is killed.
Who killed him?
Israeli strikes. Trump tweeted.

Very serious indeed.
Oh, Iran is free?
Women can do what they want,
Wear or not wear hijab.
I agree to disagree.
The stock market crashed.
It’s February 28th,2026.

The end of start
Start of what?
2026
A man predicted everything would come to end in 2026,
A perfect end indeed.
The world is burning.
Give me a damn of water
So we can bring the floods
And put the fire off.
Give me a damn of water
So we can bring the floods
And put the fire off.
I Can't.
Why?
Let it burn, let it burn.
What?
My father has to go to office.
He has to take his bottle of water.
We can’t waste water.
My mother will clean utensils
So she can cook food.
And what about drinking water?
But the kids in Gaza are hungry.
Then why aren’t forest dwellers of Aravalli
Doing hunger strikes for their rights?
Because they are already starved, Mom.
Oh — give your father his tiffin and water.
Goodbye, Dad.
Bring me that book I told you about yesterday.
Let it burn, let it burn.

What is its title?
Why globalization works?
But the world is burning.
It will get used to the heat.
Let it.
Mom, I am making tea
To read with the newspaper.
What is the word of the day , LEEZA?
Mom, it says
The word of the day is —
Inferno.
