("Abu shafshufa" is dead and china is dead silent) br br As raggedy women line up for rice. br A scraggly head is killed by mice. br Across the seas they huddle in Nice. br Err not crooks! In pursuit of vice. br br Earth's afire, from Bush in a rush. br Confucian Mings! Watch in a hush. br br Voracious monkeys now divide a pie. br Silent for now, the planes that fly. br Farther down east the Alawites fry. br Tunisians too, at the hustings cry. br br Earth's afire, from Bush in a rush. br Confucian Mings! Watch in a hush. br br Tharir is simmering and bubbling below. br Funds and greenbacks loose their glow. br The colossus' legacy blow by blow, br and Cyclops' eye festers and flows. br br Earth's afire, from Bush in a rush. br Confucian Mings! Watch in a hush. br br Swills and thrills unabated gleam. br As wild-west's train looses steam. br Twists abound for a mongering realm, br as ageing wine in futons beam. br br Earth's afire, from Bush in a rush. br Confucian Mings! Watch in a hush. br br br original br saadat tahir br 14-03 2k11 br (Islamabad) br br br Glossary: br Confucius: http: en.wikipedia.orgwikiConfucius br Mings: http: www.chinadaily.com.cnchina2006-0531content604588.htm br "shafshufa": http: wikileaksnews.netits-over-abu-shafshufa-died-said-rebel-fighter-to-aisha-gaddafi.html br Alawites: http: www.chinadaily.com.cnchina2006-0531content604588.htm br Tharir: http: occupywallst.
