Imran:

...welcome to chowk...

...wonder if in the extreme narcism leads to nihilism...could they be the two sides of a rare coin?

Lovely words!
The poem should be read by all these fidayeens, jihadis and mujaheddens so that they can undertake some self-reflection and deep introspection to become true egoless muslims rathar than individuals out to kill every non-muslim for the 70 babes in the heavens.

Dear Imran

Imagine seeing you here! Pleasant surprise!
Nice poem. I`ve seen it before but I couldn`t help noticing how it takes on a different relevance in the political context of global hegemony. Who will bring the crystal lake to the super nations?
Here`s peripety worthy of Greek Tragedy, only on a more massive scale.
Keep writing :)

Viqar

i request chowk editors to replace narcissism with narcism, as i don`t like `iss` in this word.

I note that the title and the last word were changed from `narcism` to `narcissism` in pretty short order. It can`t have had anything to do with rhyme or metre. `Narcism` is a perfectly acceptable spelling of the word.

Neat inversion, BTW.
