Welcome to the LAND OF THE PURE
2 March 2011, I wake up to this news:
“The shooting to death of Pakistani Minorities Minister Shahbaz Bhatti has once again raised questions about the country’s controversial blasphemy laws. Mr Bhatti – a Christian – was one of the country’s diminishing number of influential liberals prepared to speak out against the laws. They carry the death sentence for anyone who insults Islam, and critics say they have been used to persecute minority faiths.”
And it enrages me to say this:
Where light goes out and darkness infests
Where hatred and bigotry thrive at their best
Where hopes tumble and fear gnaws
Where barbarism rises to open its claws
Where breath constricts and throats it chokes
Where revered are satans in beards and cloaks
Where few minds shake and few souls moan
Where majority beings bear hearts of stone
Where guns are toys and innocent blood flows
Where sane die, mad thrive, as insanity grows
Where ‘secular’ ‘minorities’ are words of shame
Welcome, my friend ‘Land of the Pure’ is my name.
