Quatrain LXXXVII -- GHULAM?
Aamir conscience must have spilled
After kissing a Coca Cola chilled
For even as he hollers the Narmada cry
Coca Cola has already bled the Plachimada* dry

Out of context, and yet...
The smart regime
has a very long rope
so that we can walk
all over the yard
and pretend like we are free.
They let us march,
protest and publish,
debate and discuss,
all weekend long.
Drunk on self-satisfaction,
we pretend we are agents for change.
But nothing changes.
Their words and weapons drown us
like children in a tidal wave.
The thousand million dreams die
in ceaseless streams
while we drink coffee,
make nice posters,
and congratulate ourselves.
Sinan Antoon (Iraqi Poet)
ok Are we really surprised by this.
