When religious birds threw their stones ripping the flesh, baring the bones
You stood tall, you bore our cross and the crowd waved and laughed
What celebration, what joyous glee; another blasphemy; another blood spree
and round and round the fervor goes; heaven's winds, seventy two hoors
And we stand aside, the silent and tamed ; impotent bastards spineless and shamed
We bicker and moan and raise a ruckus; as long as no-one names our names
(whatever happened to principle, us fucks)
And hence Salam Taseer died; Twenty seven bullets lodged in his body. Yeah, I see the irony of reversing the number to seventy two, the same number of virgins that asshole dreamt of before pulling the trigger.
And what do we secular intellectuals do? We fucking moan anonymously.
Yes, the sky is not red today, nor the black engulfs the air
A little blood on an Islamabad street, its not Armageddon, they say
These people with their buckets of God
These people, the idiots, we've stayed away …
We still rather sit on this cozy sofa, with our fancy books
Animated rage, vanilla cappuccino, blogs we type away
Deep in shit, in this joke of our yoke
Lets light a candle for this black day
For what else can cowards like us do?

Badar I feel like crying here... the whole background looks like the blood from that street i saw on tv.. the breaking news came just after i and a colleague were about to start a celebration of our promotion..
trust me i and a few couldnt take a bite and the news paralyzed my mind for a while.... the amount of bullets was more than enough to even kill an elephant. Youre good at writing man. Write another and name it "72 hoors" Damn when will we get that extinct emotion called "tolerance"?
Yesterday I received so many sms on Mujahid e Haq Qadri that you wont believe. Everyone in praise of this son of Islam :)
One was the voting sms in which you are to vote for his release. It had a count of 5000 something. Someone somewhere has to start an sms stating to vote that he will go to a place opposite to what the above sms suggest :)
