No bitching, be mindful, dear Pakis

Posted: Nov 3, 2008 Mon 06:54 am     Views: 257    Interacts: 4

Chowk opened them
to a different way of thinking
away from tribalism
to unflinching idealism.

Like the doors shut and open
with the fierce gusts of winds
and rattle incessantly, so do their
heads now with the easterly Indian winds.

No bitching, be mindful, dear Pakis,
there are other religions besides Islam
there's poetry beyond kalaam of Allama Iqbal
your land is not the most pure of lands.

Amazed how much more negative one can be. And then why are you burning your precious energy on us. Think of any nation you want but keep your negativity in control.
