"Poem: A plea for India
The poet portrays contemporary India with all its negative elements such as riots, terrorism, exploitation, corruption, etc. which make every one of us bend our head down out of shame.

He exhorts the people of India not to be misguided by the forces that work with vested interests. The structure of the poem is a free verse. Yet, it is emotionally charged.
Poem: Once upon a time
This is a poem the African poet Gabriel Okara. The poet ridicules the hypocrisy practiced by the people of the present times. The poem is a biting criticism on the society for not being truthful in their words and deeds. Reading this poem, everyone feels that hypocrisy is dominant in every society. It gives a new dimension to the reader that there is some repentance in the society for being so insincere. The reader finally is left with a hope that somewhere, someday there is an end to this. The language used is simple but imagery is very effective."
We the Indians are proud to be a strong nation. Caste and regional feelings make us lose our charm. We should not spend our valuable time in unnecessary arguments. Unnecessary arguments always lead to violence. For our freedom many people sacrificed their lives. Still many things are ready to divide us and to spoil our pride. So we need dedication to unite the country despite of all narrow and selfish motives.
This anonymous poem instills patriotism in the readers. It teaches us mother India’s aim and unity.
