HEAR
ALLAH AKBAR HEAR O ISRAEL MERRY CHRISTMAS
The man behind me spits out words like: barbaric apocalypse
bloodbath Then: what ya gonna do? Words fail as he flails
in the morass of language trying to analyze the day’s events in
Pakistan In the end he fails miserably
Jittery we sit not narcotized enough yet to the onslaught of massacre
over the past 48 hrs. We eye one another suspiciously in this grand
hall at the University a perfect choice for the terror machine to land
On tv yesterday handsome ex- CIA said: Citizens must become vigilantes
Learn the correct ways to wield machetes concealed under skirts inside
strollers down your pants
In Peshwar more than 145 dead mostly children 100+ injured Taliban
loves late hates: wonder miracles education Yesterday they stormed a
school with 1,500 students methodically shooting schoolchildren in the
head Setting teachers on fire Have we witnessed such hatred since the
Nazis? Or are such comparisons odious? Maybe yes +maybe no
Amir Ameen 15 recovering in hospital was taking an exam when gunmen
entered the classroom They shot students one by one mostly in the head
he said They shot my teacher +her baby daughter I am the only survivor
from my class I played dead when they checked me
decimation
armageddon
end of the world
There is no shortage of precise language to describe these last days in the year of
our Lord two thousand +fourteen World War III is a war without borders It is
also a war of technology Just look at what they did to Sony
