Mullah Pat Robertson’s Fatwa

Fazeel Chauhan,

Very well written with an even spary of blame.
Almost makes sense to revert to the religion of our forefathers. :)

Salim Chauhan

This is possibly the worst poem Chowk has ever posted.

(sorry, writer)

sammi!

cut some slack yaar...comment on the message:)

fazeel:

the assassination of a political or religious leader or opponent as a state policy is to be condemned....there is only one country that owns up to it publicly -- israel

but other countries like the US, Pakistan and India have unofficially engaged in such practices in the past and should be universally condemned for such practices

Well....the message is worthy of our consideration...I just can`t approve of the methodology of delivering it. Writer: please contact me on unplugged if you are interested in reading (and goddess help us) learning how to write political poems. Again, as much as I agree with the progressivism of the piece, it kills me to read it.

Tbhai,

well, in the spirit of poetry, feel free to nominate your candidates for the worst poem ever posted on chowk...there is some terrible pleasure in reallllly bad poetry....

sam:

easy:)

a certain hack called t;)

fazeel mian,

c`mon ........ cut the fool robertson some slack - he has already apologized and we need people like him to keep our mullahs in check ........

............... the problem with the bleeding heart liberals is that they are against everything and for nothing - unless it is for hugging trees and organic gardening in the nude ............

Kudos Mr. Fazeel...well put!

Don`t worry about the usual suspects getting their thongs in knots and throwing up sarcastic tantrums in their blissful ignorance. They`re on medication, thus unable to make sense of the reality.

The usual suspects...and you know who you are, please refrain from mooning. I just drop in to keep an eye y`all and currently don`t have time to engage in your diatribes. You`re welcome to keep chewing on your knuckles though...hehehe

:-)~~

Haven`t come across a hilarious rantorama like this for ages.

Bulleh Shah, save me from the Mullah, LOL, Good Lord! You must be having a bad day. Cheer up!

tbhai,

Dont even try that humility sumility stuff here....

what is happening here?

this was allegedly supposed to be a dumping party for ayatollah pat son-of-robert

for abul hasan bani sadr`s sake if not ayatollah sadr`s sake...can bw stop judging bad poetry worse and get on with the business at hand?

t,

``this was allegedly supposed to be a dumping party for ayatollah pat son-of-robert``

......... i guess , ike chavez, nobody cares what pat has to say ........ besides, bad poetry relly ticks off people even if the message has some merit ........... to be honest, this was so bad that i didn`t read past the first three lines ....... i can see why someone like saminasha would be really upset by this abomination ......... the only thing worse than poetry is bad poetry ................

Re: # 1
Regarding the religion of our forefathers:
What I include as a footnote for those siblings who may not know Bulleh Shah: He was a sufi poet who passed away in 1758, his Islamic teachings emphasized spirituality, love, and self-examination, instead of dogma and ritualism. Like in buddhism, he teaches: good thoughts, good words, good actions

One of our common omens is being judgemental. Putting other people down makes us feel better, by springing us up? The trouble with pop culture is, the audience does not like to see a supply of originality, content or realism. Instead, fantasy, entertainment, and ``form`` (FORMula), are demanded. To me, the same old FORMula, reminds me of Mula, and it`s boring, yar. In contemporary American poetry, as in hard rock type of lyrics, there is immense amounts of originality, breaking of ``rules``, and unpredictability. That`s what I like. Because simple form may have a limited number or layers. And like when musicians ``break the rules`` of harmony, it creates a deeper work. In western art, originality is stressed, uniqueness is rewarded. In Indian pop music`s beginnings, in the previous generation, there were two female singers, and 3 male singers. AND THAT WAS ALL. They had the monopoly, which stifled the creativity in other singers. Do you want to eat the burger from a fast food chain, and say that`s cool? That was an early phase. To me, what`s cool is the mom and pop shop. They don`t have the fancy arches, and can`t afford TV commercials, but they have authenticity. They don`t need to present their kabab as a burger, specially if they are not in it for money or popularity

I have no idea what are that means?
