/* U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Obama gave a speech on races. I liked the honesty in his speech. I thought he spoke straight from his heart without giving up on anyone. Though it may sound uncomfortable to some, I thought it was appropriate and true. Here are some verses based on the speech */

Lions, Elephants, Deer and Jackal
Lived in 'A' forest, fed by a Canal
Sharing the water at the same point
They drank how much ever they want!

Canal cut through many more forests
Globalization enabled sharing of assets!
Strength of animals in other forests grew
Water became a very big issue..

Asiatic Lions wanted their due
Life is tough for them too..
In minority, though muscle they have
More they wanted for their welfare..

African elephants wanted a share
Enslaved, Endangered species they were..
Disparagingly defi(n)ed as a dull 'Nigger'..
They demanded that others be fair..

Hispanic jackals jumped in the air
Joining the demands for a better share..
Working class of the forest they were.
Wanted to be treated with more care..

Caucasian deer vented their anger
Creating quota puts them in danger!
Darting legs get them to water anywhere.
Deterrence of race drives them to despair..

And they all fought an ugly war!
Attacking, abusing others with vigor
Sections of animals emerged as rulers
Stoking the fight to retain their powers!

"Lion or an Elephant or a jackal or a deer
Only form of the life is different here..
Thirst has nothing to do with your race
If not today, tomorrow every one will face..

Solution is about getting more water
Conserving it is much more better.."
Lectures the wise bear with charisma..
Will they all listen to Obama?
