Civilization

 

Whenever you meet Mom,
Don’t stay With her
More than two minutes
If you don’t Want to hear her story.
The story of the civilized lady
Who came to our hometown
Many years ago.
Before that day,

Mom and her sisters
Never knew they Were going around
Half naked.
They never realized their breasts were unclothed.
The young lady told them
That was “uncivilized.”
She gave Mom a beautiful shirt.
Since that day,
Mom never comes out of  room
Without her beautiful shirt.
Mom Wanted me to be
As civilized as her savior.
She sent me to the Western world.
She didn’t have enough money.
That’s Why I had to go by boat.

I finally got there.
But guess What!!!
I couldn’t believe my eyes,
As there Were hundreds of hundreds
Of hundreds of hundreds of hundreds of hundreds
Of “uncivilized” ones on the beach.
