2009
hello
what will you have?
a cup of tea? with lemon and ice?
or a bag of flour to bake your own cupcake, perhaps?
i have nothing to serve, you see...
you're an unlikely newness
raking the same glory from the days gone by
a bit too quickly for my liking, i say
and a bit too slow
if it counts that
there's a war crime or two
happening in some part up north
i don't know exactly where
just that
its not okay
because those babies i heard in my dream
weren't actually in combat
the lollypop that got splattered with blood
was just fresh out the wrapper
gosh
the baby was fresh out the wrapper!
but they said they were bombing
an area of armed combatants
(with lollypops - red ones!)
so what will it be?
a glass of ice water?
a dash of tequila?
on the rocks... and the rubble
underneath which
lies a mother and her two children
the third one is just
a
splattered
mush of flesh.
doesn't count.
it's just a matter of
ashes to ashes,
dust
and clay
to dust.
white phosphorous will make sure of it!
dust off your hands. it will be done.
happy new year.
we can wait for FIFA's act,
but the games have already begun.

how about a bag of bones and body of lies?
I think that will have a get set go the new year!
Nice Post Shafz. and thanks for comin back to my Haven :) been a long while. missed ya!
It started out with pain. There are people who do not respect human life. Just remember that not everything about this new year is sad.

hey seher...
hope ur well.. i wish i had ur energy as far as writing goes! :)
thanks for the comment, kickstart year it is, hey! and still.. beyond all of that (a reminder that the world is a precarious place) still i have a great feeling about this year... i can't imagine it any other way... accept/except new enthusiasm.
but there are those moments... of feeling helpless to the onslaught. imagine if it was an everyday thing... everywhere... imagine sitting in New York, Dubai, London, Johannesburg, Karachi, Doha, Mumbai, Jakarta, Kolkata, Hong Kong, Chicago, Brisbane, Toronto, Nairobi, LA... Ok even Timbuktu?! Just about anywhere... sipping at a cuppaccino and hearing the sound of bombs in the distance. Is that the state of normality we strive for? I do wonder...
It's all good, joe-ster :)
Just... if its ok to bomb civilians there, its ok anywhere... it be a world at war with itself really.
hey Shafz, i am well!
energy is scary aint it? people start thinking something is totally short-circuited in the upper chamber!!!
definitely a kick start year and i have been praying that it is the best year ever for us the hopeful species of God!
the energy has been good so far. :)
the moments of helplessness to the onslaught... well it has become an everyday thing has it not. i wonder how people in gaza, beirut, amman, ever have to do an abnormal day where there is absolute peace.
they will now find it totally boring and unreal if that happens!
May we each fill 2009 with hopes of betterment and may we find the fight within us to see hope through.
Awww Shafs...been waiting a long time for you :)
Sad post innit...but its a reality. I must wonder if they are human at all...surely humans cannot be that cold and heartless? And what do they fight for? Land? Walls? Power? Its it worth it? Is it worth the heartache and devastation and horror...I dont know how some people sleep at night.
AMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!!!
AMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!!!
AMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!!!
hey there kay... i dnt think i'll make the party this weekend... thanks for thinking of me, lady :)
these words got juiced out by the expressions read at saaleha's and kay's blogs earlier today... words take the poison out. or they try to.
seher... i think its time i came out to visit u :P
azra! the clock to countdown is tick tick ticking honey ;)
pain and anger,
the bomb is called a daisy cutter ..
odd isn't it; sounds like a child's toy.
white phosporous, a science experiment perhaps;
or a perfume?
Not Napalm's bigger, uglier brother
aah... allowing relation-link to napalm is putting the wolf in sheeps clothes... the evolution is far more sinister... far more deadly... it leaves no room anything but complete obliteration. slow, tortuous finality. even the devil himself couldn't think of such an evil idea!
