Friends,
Thank you all for your comments. We need to do all to highlight what is happening and play an active part in removing those shackles of indifference and to support what is good and beneficial for Pakistan.

The above is the longer version of the link posted by Leadnwinter. And absolutely, it is a must. It sheds light on the financial basis of the current economic disaster that sure is going to lead to:
1. Global depression / recession
2. Collapse of US empire
3. New World Order ....(ha, which Bush not had imagined even in his .... dreams.
4. And either total take over by cockroaches or their total disappearance.
May be some economic expert at Chowk can expound on these happenings. There is such dead silence here.

"As the deal are struck, as deal are brokered
Through rumors and disobedience
To the nation, the silent witness"

That is the problem Kashkin; that the nation is a silent witness. Has been, it seems, for eternity. In the meantime,the cockroaches and their fumigators will continue to rule the roost.

Of course there is a price for breaking the silence; and it has to be paid. Whether it is paid now, or paid later, determines whether the nation inherits a garden, or it inherits the wind...

A timely post!
Very well written!
It will surely ignite some light for us to see through the darkest hour of our history.

Keep up the good work!

How the tempo builds in the poem is amazing.

It starts reflecting the hurry and scurry and apparent haphazard commotions of 'cockroaches'.

And it ends all the way to the elevation of thought to a height where a sweeping view of the 'political cockroaches' can be sighted.

Then the poet's trumpet is heared: “Light it; there may still be enough to ignite�

With pain in the heart that maybe, maybe, there is not really enough. One can almost hear the sigh. And “hope is thing with feathers� … which sings and sings and never stops.

It reminds me of Quran when it says, you hear these verse and Laugh – and not Cry!
