GLOBAL WARNING
27.05.2007
What is happening
Does anyone know?
Are we going to wrap
In a green house?
Some say ice caps are melting
Some blame it on Global Warming.
Mother Nature knows best
Which one to protect
And which one to waste
The rule is the survival
For the fittest.
Emitting carbon dioxide
Blocking the Sun
All alarming news
We become stunned
How are we going to survive?
How are we going to thrive?
The nature provides
More than we deserve
Chlorophyll and tress
We should increase
Use less more we conserve.

GREEN WORLD
By Ferdous Rahman
27.05.2007-05-31
Convert all the fields
With soothing Green Shield
Our slogan should be.
Plant more and more trees
Produce oxygen from debris
Create a wonderful world
A green planet to live.

STRAWBERRIES
31.05.2007
Strawberries are like
Rich colour soft berries
With fantastic taste
Sorbet, strawberries with cream
Spread on hot scone
With fresh-brewed tea
Cricket, Wimbledon
and Strawberries
-- Only place you will find
Serve with handpicked fruit and fresh cream
Reflect British tradition in full swing.
Ferdous Rahman first performed this poem with the Purple Poets
at the 2007 Capital Age Summer Festival, South Bank, London in August
at the Jazz Stage.. |

Dragon-Slayer
19.04.2007
Magic or Myth!
Which do you believe?
It happened in the past
An angelic Saint with a red cross
Dragons protect us in the East
In the West it's a wicked Beast
Oh St. George you made
The impossible the reality
Rescued people from eternity.
Ferdous Rahman wrote this at a Purple Poets Workshop exploring
themes surrounding Saint George, for Saint George's Day 2007.

Third Draft:
ARTISTS AGAINST RACISM
WHAT DO YOU SEE?
03.05.2007
Don't see me as a colour
Don't see me as a gender
Think about my contribution
Treat me as a scholar
We are part of the race
Live together with grace
Multi-cultural and multi-faith
Chemistry blended with multi-taste
The colour of saffron infuse with spice
Fragrance of food floating in the breeze
Tingling the taste buds, that's how I see
Today's multi-racial Britain.
