Nobody Came: Everybody "Liberated"

Badruddin R. Gowani


Pope's fear of the US
(Catholic Pope vs. Evangelical Bush?)
prevented him
from becoming a human shield
(Dr. Helen Caldicott's idea)

Dalai Lama protested
he is landless
looking to US for his land
but then
brown's protest
what is it worth?

GCCP
(Gulf Cooperation Council of Pimps)
neither declared oil embargo
nor denied access to killing saucers
land entry they couldn't ban
Master's murderers are in their deserts
have leased free of charge - indefinite period

Musharraf is praying to Master
avoid any more awkward situations
let me live in peace
in my final days in this world

Mubarak says
100 more Osama's will crop up
second highest recipient of US aid
after Israel
how bold the beggar could be?

"Ummah"
(world Muslim community)
invoked now and then
reality?
no such thing as "Muslim world"
a hollow phrase like
"democracy", "human rights", "liberation"
used to control the masses
not a single Muslim country
severed diplomatic relations
(nor did any non-Muslim country)

Francemany frowned for a while
now washing hands to eat the loot
of course, the lionÇs share would go to
BB Brothers
that is, Bloody B-------
that is, Bushlair


Putin canÇt control criminals in Moscow
how could he restrain the Super-Criminal?
now he is asked to write off all debts to Iraq
while oil will be controlled by US companies
salt on the wound?
or boiling oil on the wound?
(Germany is asked for similar favor)

China deposited the red book in Yangtze
to withdraw green bills from sweat shops
has a trade surplus with Universe's Master
canÇt afford a deficit of Master's blessings

India has Hindu fanatics in power
WashingtonÇs corridors of power
are full of Christian fundamentalists
both have similar mission
India followed the adage
silence is golden
to be rewarded with golden investments

nobody came to the rescue
everybody and everything in Iraq
was left alone to face "liberation"

children are liberated from parents
parents are liberated from children
sisters are liberated from brothers
brothers are liberated from sisters
women and men are liberated from spouses
whole families are liberated from life
buildings are liberated from structures
embargo-victims are liberated from wretchedness

arms are liberated from a boy
cheek-skin is liberated from a child
skull is liberated from a man's body
flesh is liberated from a boy's body

also liberated is a crack from a boy's forehead
also liberated is a sight from a child's eye
also liberated is a foot from a girl's ankle

Hitchens is liberated to toast in Baghdad
Franklin Graham is liberated to proselytize
Chalabi is liberated to loot and let his Master loot
US oil companies are liberated from Iraqi restrictions
other US companies are liberated to "rebuild" Iraq

and above all
or above oil

the oil is liberated from Iraqis
oil is nature
that means nature is liberated
if Supreme Being were alive today
would have surely thanked
the Technological God
for liberating nature
(alas! back in 19th century
Nietzsche pronounced:
God is dead)

Kofi Annan is still alive
was resuscitated back to life
will send blacks and browns
to clean up the mess in Iraq
and in the process get killed
(at the dawn of evolutionary stage
the colored were destined to such a fate)
US will misuse UN
Annan will feel he is needed

the death merchants in Washington DC
will soon be playing another game of roulette
seven compartments there are:
Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela
(yes, eighth compartment for Pakistan is missing
in future? only Technological God knows)
heavy betting has started
most are playing on Iran

(Jew hater is called anti-Semite
canÇt human haters be called anti-human?
be prosecuted and punished
letting the human beings leave peacefully)
