HAIL OF CLOTS

Red,
like a blood soaked foetus.
Painful,
like a peppered abscess.
Charred,
like pieces of charcoal.
Deep,
like the Earth's core.
Tender,
like a lump of raw flesh.
Gory,
like a gesture of war.
Reeky,
like a bog.
Sharp,
like a razor blade.
Rotten,
like an infested tumor.
Audacious,
like a naked whore.
Extrusive,
like blood on snow.
Bleak,
like a vast stretch of mountain.
Sadistic,
like mortals.
Narcissistic,
like a man.
STOOD THE OBSTINATE WOUND

SEETHE

The dawn was breaking,so was her sleep.Everything stopped and refused to move.The deafening silence almost killed her and she prayed she could live.She was sweating and panting.She was aghast,fidgety and restless.She thought as if someone was smothering her.She wanted to breathe.She wanted to live.She thanked God, she was alive.Still alive,to die one day.What could have happened???...

She had a nightmare...,a dawn mare probably.Dawn mares,people said,come true...She didn't care.The dawn mares have already happened,sometime in past,thinking of which,she was seething.The memories were fresh,boiling as magma under the earth's crust.Fresh was the SEETHE,taking over her consciousness.She was writhing in pain.PAIN....mental,not physical.What could have happened????????

Nothing much..Just something that could have given anyone an unfortunate death..But she survived..Survived to die one day.....die of seethe.But then what could have happened??? It was in her head..She was disturbed.She was holding too tightly on her so as to asphyxiate herself.Suppresed.Lying in pain all alone.Searching the answers of
her questions.Pondering.Fiddling.People were sadistic she thought.Life has betrayed her she thought.She was fragile she thought.Relationships are brittle she thought.She was perceptive,prejudiced..

She was in search of answers of her questions.She found the answers.And as she thought she had the answers,life changed all her questions.Life has betrayed her again.She was again left seething....with new questions.....and new answers...........and old pain..as ever!!!!!

Bilawal-At The Age Of Innocence


Bilawal Bhutto Zardari,19,a first year history student at the Christ Church College,Oxford University,is no more a normal teenager like most of his friends at Oxford.The very confident,charismatic and eloquent Bilawal,has now acquired a new political responsibility,a responsibility of being the Chairperson of Pakistan People's Party.This undertaking is a herculean task in itself,and very much for a 19 yr old.Mr. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is in the line of famous political heirs after his newest acquisition,the PPP.

A very soft spoken,shy and an engaging speaker,as people close to him say,Bilawal is a Taekwondo champion and a great cricket fan as every Pakistani.Brought up in Dubai and London,Bilawal has never been exposed to the Pakistani Politics much,although he seems to be very worldly and aware by the way he speaks on issues.He has always admitted his inexperience.Making his first public presentation in London,he said,"I fear for my country.If elections are not free and fair it might disintegrate".On Bush supporting Musharraf,he said,"Dictatorships bred extremism and the U.S. should stop supporting DICTATORS".On Indo-Pak relations he said his country would like to "co-exist" with its neighbours.

In the last 2 months that Bilawal has been to Oxford,he has always maintained a low profile and called himself BILAWAL LAWALIB to avoid attention that his real surname could catch.However,after his newest acquisition he is no more Lawawlib now.He is Bilawal BHUTTO Zardari,just a 19 yr old,who has entered the GORY,MURDEROUS and INGLORIOUS politics of Pakistan.

Poor Bilawal,he would never be able to understand,why was he the chosen one?? Why was he ever chosen to bear the brunt of the brutal dynastic Pakistani politics??? Why was he persuaded to head PPP at this innocent age,when he is even younger than his mother was,when she was forced too....

The carefree and easy days at Oxford are gone.When Bilawal's Contemporaries have their first yr exams to worry about,Bilawal has been induced into the politics.What all that his friends could think of is partying,Bilawal is all set to play the DeAtH GaMe!!!!!

The ride has just begun and the journey is dangerous.The Destination is democracy,which is out of the question..

GOD SAVE BILAWAL!!!!!!!!
