I enjoy your poems, but like someone else a little earlier, this one
forces me to ask : is there a moral behind this, or did you just
write it with no clear motive ? Made it seem like all us guys were
money grubbing and insensitive and all Indian gals were suffering
horribly in the US ... Perhaps at the risk of exposing my own
insecurities, I have to say I didn't appreciate that.
