Citizen of the world
10-Sep-2007
I am a citizen of the world
Yet, I don’t have a passport
Issued by a world government
I have regard for all people
Not only my kinsmen and compatriots
I acknowledge the humanity of all
Without regard to their religion, culture or nationality
I see my fellow human beings
As the inhabitants of a large city
In which different cultures live and meet
I scorn nationalism
I am wary of patriotism
I am suspicious of particular loyalties
My allegiances and loyalties are widely dispersed
You won’t see me raising the flag of any particular nation
I favor multiple attachments and cultural mélange
I take an interest in strangers
In their practices and beliefs
There is much to learn from our differences
Differences do not worry or frighten me away
They intrigue and draw me in
I love traveling and foreign cultures
I love world literature, music and cinema
I live in a world without borders
I lead a cosmopolitan life
I find my inspirations
In a cosmopolitan world
-Rotterdam, Netherlands

A Deep Coma
by Sabzi-polo (not verified) on Thu Sep 13, 2007 05:29 AM CDTI read this poem 5 days ago and it put me in a deep coma from which I have just woken up. I am from a small village and we don't like strangers and chase them out. We don't want their foreign ideas. We don’t even like the people from the village across the valley. We stick to our own and only look out for our own.
Sasan, if you are a poet, then I am the king of France. Don’t quit your day job at the fish market yet. Will you put aside a bag of fish-heads for me on Thursday; I will be by in the afternoon to pick it up.
Thank you
Are you a TCK?

Conent-------> F (the subject done to death, lack of originality, Rumi did this about 550 years ago)
An empty rhetoric that makes the author feel good, makes him feel superior, and of course part of the upper echelon of humanity.
Most importantly
Practical applicability------> Big, huge FFFFF, no one believes this kind of rhetoric, and I very much doubt that the author lives by what he has written. Case and point is the fact that you believe in the things you have written, therefore, you are displaying certain "loyalties" to those beliefs....
