My little brother's first poem!!!

Here's a poem my brother wrote in the spirit of the Indian Independence Day (the 15th of August). Not bad, I would say, for his first attempt...

I Am An Indian

I am an Indian
I wonder why I am an Indian
I hear the national anthem
I see the Indian flag
I want to work for my country

I am an Indian
I pretend to be the leader of the country
I feel love for my motherland
I worry that my country will be destroyed by terrorists
I cry when my country is bombed

I am an Indian
I understand the patriotism of people
I say with pride that I am an Indian
I dream to make my country the world's best country
I try to make my country better
I hope to see my country better

I am an Indian

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
