Humanity i love you
because you would rather black the boots of
success than enquire whose soul dangles from his
watch-chain which would be embarrassing for both
parties and because you
unflinchingly applaud all
songs containing the words country home and
mother when sung at the old howard
Humanity i love you because
when you’re hard up you pawn your
intelligence to buy a drink and when
you’re flush pride keeps
you from the pawn shops and
because you are continually committing
nuisances but more
especially in your own house
Humanity i love you because you
are perpetually putting the secret of
life in your pants and forgetting
it’s there and sitting down
on it
and because you are
forever making poems in the lap
of death Humanity
i hate you

The Shield of Achilles
She looked over his shoulder
For vines and olive trees,
Marble well-governed cities
And ships upon untamed seas,
But there on the shining metal
His hands had put instead
An artificial wilderness
And a sky like lead.
A plain without a feature, bare and brown,
No blade of grass, no sign of neighborhood,
Nothing to eat and nowhere to sit down,
Yet, congregated on its blankness, stood
An unintelligible multitude,
A million eyes, a million boots in line,
Without expression, waiting for a sign.
Out of the air a voice without a face
Proved by statistics that some cause was just
In tones as dry and level as the place:
No one was cheered and nothing was discussed;
Column by column in a cloud of dust
They marched away enduring a belief
Whose logic brought them, somewhere else, to grief.
She looked over his shoulder
For ritual pieties,
White flower-garlanded heifers,
Libation and sacrifice,
But there on the shining metal
Where the altar should have been,
She saw by his flickering forge-light
Quite another scene.
Barbed wire enclosed an arbitrary spot
Where bored officials lounged (one cracked a joke)
And sentries sweated for the day was hot:
A crowd of ordinary decent folk
Watched from without and neither moved nor spoke
As three pale figures were led forth and bound
To three posts driven upright in the ground.
The mass and majesty of this world, all
That carries weight and always weighs the same
Lay in the hands of others; they were small
And could not hope for help and no help came:
What their foes like to do was done, their shame
Was all the worst could wish; they lost their pride
And died as men before their bodies died.
She looked over his shoulder
For athletes at their games,
Men and women in a dance
Moving their sweet limbs
Quick, quick, to music,
But there on the shining shield
His hands had set no dancing-floor
But a weed-choked field.
A ragged urchin, aimless and alone,
Loitered about that vacancy; a bird
Flew up to safety from his well-aimed stone:
That girls are raped, that two boys knife a third,
Were axioms to him, who’d never heard
Of any world where promises were kept,
Or one could weep because another wept.
The thin-lipped armorer,
Hephaestos, hobbled away,
Thetis of the shining breasts
Cried out in dismay
At what the god had wrought
To please her son, the strong
Iron-hearted man-slaying Achilles
Who would not live long.
in giro per i blog: Bush's Nuclear Lies Postato da Raqqash alle 08:32
Mentre l'amministrazione Bush suona i tamburi di guerra contro un'altra nazione che non ha avuto nulla a che fare con i fatti dell'undici settembre, vengono fuori altre falsificazioni che servono ad indottrinare l'opinione pubblica americana e spingerla a credere che l'Iran rappresenti una grave minaccia per la sicurezza.
Alla base di queste macchinazioni è il presunto discorso tenuto dall'allora neo eletto Ahmadinejad nel settembre 2005 al ministro dell''interno, durante il quale avrebbe affermato che "Israele deve essere spazzato via dalle mappe".
Come persona nata e vissuta in Iran per diciassette anni, di madrelingua farsi, ho letto le trascrizioni originali del discorso in Farsi e voglio informarvi che Ahmadinejad non ha mai detto questo, ma piuttosto che la sua affermazione è stata grandemente modificata e tolta dal contesto, forse per agevolare una azione militare in Iran.
Analizziamo quanto affermato da Ahmadinejad. Le sue esatte parole in Farsi sono state: "L'Imam disse che questo regime di occupazione in Gerusalemme deve svanire dalla pagina dei tempi."
Nda: La differenza tra le due frasi non è affatto sottile visto che nella prima il soggetto sarebbe il presidente Iraniano che esprime il suo desiderio di spazzare via Israele, mentre la vera frase riguarda una citazione riguardo al desiderio di un'altra persona che il regime di Israele cessi di esistere. In tanti in questi ultimi mesi hanno sperato che il regime militare in Birmania cessasse di esistere, senza che questo implicasse il desiderio che la nazione venisse nuclearizzata, attaccata, o perfino che i suddetti militari venissero uccisi tutti. Più probabilmente abbiamo sperato e desiderato che questi venissero catturati e processati per le loro azioni. Allo stesso modo è colpevolmente ingannevole attribuire a una frase del genere, perdipiù tolta dal contesto, una volontà distruttiva esplicita. A questo andrebbe poi sommato un altro fatto, che Bush continua a omettere: Ahmadinejad è solo un portavoce, che perdipiù spesso va ben oltre il seminato con le sue dichiarazioni. Il vero potere politico in Iran è detenuto da un consiglio di religiosi, che tra l'altro durante la guerra in Kuwait furono di grande aiuto per gli Stati Uniti.
Ma tutto questo si fa presto a dimenticarlo, a quanto pare.
E' falsificando ancora una volta la realtà dunque che Bush e la sua amministrazione si adoperano per far partire una nuova guerra di interesse alle spese degli americani e del mondo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the Bush Administration beats the drums for another war of choice with another country that had nothing to do with 9/11, they are using another series of fabricated facts to indoctrinate the American people into thinking that Iran poses a serious threat to our security. At the core of these fabrications is the claim that on October 25, 2005, during a speech at the Ministry of Interior conference hall, the then newly-elected President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad remarked that "Israel must be wiped off the map." As someone who was born in Tehran, lived there for seventeen years and is a native Farsi speaker, I have read the original transcripts of the speech in Farsi and want to inform you that Ahmadinejad never said "Israel must be wiped off the map," but rather, his statement was grossly mistranslated and taken out of context, perhaps to help make a case for military action against Iran.
Let's analyze what Ahmadinejad said. His exact words in Farsi were as follows: "Emam goft een rezhim-e eshghalgar-e qods bayad az safheh-ye ruzegar mahv shavad."
The correct translation of the statement is as follows: "Imam said this occupying regime in Jerusalem must vanish from the page of times."
The fact that Ahmadinejad specifically mentioned the occupation of Jerusalem indicates the main reason for his discontent. It is certainly legitimate for one to wish the fall or disappearance of a regime - "a government in power" - based on the policies that that government has pursued. American presidents, public officials and various activists - including this blogger - have openly expressed hope that the regime in Iran would vanish, although for different reasons. The United States ' official policy throughout the entire Cold War was to actively pursue policies that would lead to communist regimes vanishing, and some may argue, that policy continues today. And groups like "The World Can't Wait" openly hope for the end of what they call the "Bush Regime." And it only takes basic research to find out that the Israeli "regime" has been illegally occupying the West Bank and Gaza Strip, built settlements, built roads, expropriated land, deported, tortured and killed Palestinians, restricted freedom of movement, harmed the economy and made them impoverished for four decades, all in direct violation of international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention. And they have done all of this with U.S.'s aid and 47 vetoes of UN Security Council resolutions against Israel since the beginning of Reagan administration alone (Chomsky). Israeli regime has also militarily supported the military regime of Burma, which recently used Israeli weapons to kill pro-democracy civilians (British Jane's Intelligence Review). That is state sponsorship of terrorism. America is also a partner in this enterprise as it continues to give Israel 3 Billion Dollars of military aid every year. In fact, between one-third to one-fifth of the entire U.S.'s foreign aid goes to Israel each year.
And it is as part of their desperate effort to make a false case for attacking Iran that the Bush administration has employed the most deceptive and manipulative practices - such as grossly mistranslating Ahmadinejad's statements and lying about the idea that Ahmadinejad wants Israel off the map - to manufacture a false image of world affairs and create a false context within which he could sell another disastrous war of choice to the American people.
