When the bouganvilla stops blooming its time

 

If you can't stand a good religious rant
get the fuck off my page and join
bible-thumpers anonymous; I'm
not just talking about the Christian Book
of dogma and apostolic revision, give
me an eagle's feather, free me from the
object of your persecution, your procession
is a historical list of hate after hate.

If you believe in a Supreme Being that will come
down from the clouds in a blazing chariot with fire
in his eyes, if you believe he'll materialize
from another dimension to a man with waves in his sandy hair 
and piercing blue eyes 
to be nailed in the hands for your sins,

Or If you believe in a Supreme Being that will come
down from the clouds in a blazing chariot with fire
in his eyes, if you believe he'll materialize
from another dimension to a Golden Calf 
only to destroy anyone who has been living on your promised land, 

just listen to yourself think.


This world is just plain fucked up, and if we don't do
something together soon, get rid of the all the Gods we have
created and misread throughout the ages, bear our own
fruits now, before it's too late,
deal with the likelihood
there's no pearly gates guarded by seventy-two virgins
for the ultimate fucking pleasure, no hell fires
below beckoning with a crooked smirk and goat's feet and no promised land to live in

If life isn't sacred now, what could any afterlife
or before life actually mean? And to whom? Why would
the soul keep coming back to make more promises it has
no intentions of keeping?


There's nothing but the apples of an honest smile in every
child's face, no matter the race, colour or ancestry,
sex or limitation. There is no creative design if it lacks
social integration. It's not about location location location,
the earth is just a blue dot between nowhere and here in the
cosmic scheme of things.

Come and watch the sunset from wherever you are,
for we all die and we die alone only to live forever 
in the hell or the heaven that we have created on our own. 

If there is waiting to be done for a new birth,
the placenta has already died.

OnlyIran if you bother reading the article I posted

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on

we can discuss it in depth

//www.ukcolumn.org/articles/politics/who-enem...

The IRI is not a representative of muslims in Iran.  It is an agent provocateur/a form of fundamentalism that is not what Iranians are about, yet  they use IRI to help the USA to create its #1 goal, a clash of civilizations.  The reason for that is they can pull this rabbbit out of the hat any time a country tries to develop and get contol of its oil resources and get its fair share.  They want the oil cheap and so the countries have to be weak.  Instability and extremism means weak backward governments and they secretly want that for Iran.


amirparvizforsecularmonarchy

Only Iran you are right when you say IRI line is Rubbish

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on

"our fate is Palestine's fate" rubbish is nonsense. I agree. 

Do you get my point?

Our fate is with stopping policies that help spread fundamentalsim or secure it.  Any policy that helps create extremism hurts us, because regime tells its supporters see you can't trust the west look how they harm muslims and have militarized the region.  Do you get this?  The USA purposely Fuels this charade.

Religion needs to be out of govt, no exception.  I say Israel and Palestine in peace would help take ammo away from terrorists and change things, but we need more than that ofcourse, if world powers aid Iranians half as much as they did khomanie we can do the job without outside interference.  And have a national referendum for a secular/democratic/iran.  For now the policy of helping muslim brotherhood in Libya/Egypt/Tunisia/syria tells me the west won't do anything to let go of IRI.  It strengths their base, shows them to be standing up to the west and does nothng to help real opposition. They help mek, but they are terrorists.

Dear Amir

by Soosan Khanoom on

Great points and it seems that, unfortunately, this is a case. 

I will try to read your recommended article tomorrow, 

Thanks

LOL ... It is too late and I am too sleepy to care about any typo . but who knows may be I was teasing AO !!.... I was hoping for him to catch it but I knew you would instead. Somehow you remind me of AO and his proofreading skills ..hmmms .  I got you. Multiple IDs  ...LOL

Anyway, thank God that was your last comment cause I am certainly not going to waste anymore of my time on you.

 


Onlyiran

That's it? That's all you have to say? Some childish mockery

by Onlyiran on

so that the other clown (the fake monarchist) can have a "LOL?!!"  I though you were a "scientist," not a six year old school kid. Well, looking at your grammar, you may just be six years old. 

Now, that's a LOL indeed!  Listen, I don't care if there's no Israel /Palestine tomorrow.  Unlike you, if I  wake up tomorrow, and the place where Israel is today, is called Palestine (or planet Mars for that matter), it will not make a bit of difference in my life.  You, on the other hand, will probably have a heart attack if your gravy train (Israel) is gone.

See, the problem is, though, that for the past 32 years, IR and its supporters (like you) have tried to fool the massses into buying this whole notion of "our fate is Palestine's fate" rubbish.  It's their oldest trick, and no one  is buying it...well, no one except for fake monarchists. ;-)

Ps-Last comment on this nonsense poem/ blog . whatever it is...

PSS- I believe AO's comment was "beware of poetic scientists," not "be aware."  Totally different meaning between the two words.  I think you should send your comments to the "review department" also.  Now, that's another LOL!!! 


amirparvizforsecularmonarchy

OnlyIRI OnlyIsrael ha ha too funny

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on

Ironically due to not understanding the complexity of the geopolitics, economics and religion they ironcally are making comments instead of only4iran for IRI/Israel dance to keep regime secure.


amirparvizforsecularmonarchy

Soosan Khanoom USA will veto any hope for Peace.

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on

The USA uses the israel drama to purposely help create a clash of civilzations, to feed and spread fundamentalism so they can inspire jihadi's and keep the IRI which they created themselves in power.  When Israel Kills 1000 Palestinians or the US orphans more than 50% of the children in Iraq, what do you think is the real agenda of this approach?

OnlyIran, please wake up, there is a picture you can not see because there are things you are not aware of regarding motive.  If you want to get an idea of how far off you are please read this piece of investigative journalism.  //www.ukcolumn.org/articles/politics/who-enem...

Terrorism and Fundamentalist governments are created by Governments like the USA/UK/Israel which have a motive to either A) dominate the region for oil profits B) like israel act as aproxy for the USA to dominate the oil  Otherwise they couldn't send their oil companies into Iraq and Iran to take the oil and pay them only 25%, when shah was around iran got 75%.  For just Iran that amounts to a $600 Billion loss a year by having IRI in power.  So OnlyIran, now do you see why the USA removed the Shah and brought Khomeini and uses Israels help to keep them in power?  10 Trillion is no Joking matter.

 

If you don't see Israel role and peace in this then please read the article.

Thank you dear Amir

For taking your time reading this blog and for your kind comments ..

To onlyIRI and onlyIsreal

by Soosan Khanoom on

 

IRI hard liners and right wing Israelis including their supporters on this site should better be prepared cause the peace train is reaching its destination SOON ...

amirparvizforsecularmonarchy

Same old IRI trick - packaged differently

by Onlyiran on

For the past 32 years, the IRI has been telling us that there will be no change in Iran, or the Middle East, until the  Israel / Palestine conflict  is resolved; which, as we Iranians say, is akin to sending us after "nokhod siyah."  Fortunately, and much to IRI's dimay, people of Egypt, Tunis, Lybia and soon Syria, proved that tyrants in the ME can be deposed without the Israel / Palestine conflict being first addressed and concluded.  What you are claiming is IRI's long standing propaganda, just packaged differently--with a thin veneer of vague and harmless "criticism" of the IR, designed to fool the guillible.  But again, as we say: khodeti "sister."

One must be naive or uninformed to not see that how much a permanent peace can effect the ruling mullas in iran.  Once that achived they have nothing left to hold it against their opponents and the system shall collapse like it has been hit by tons of bombs.  The thing is that the right wing Israelis do not want peace as much as the hard liners in Iran. They are two sides of the same coin. I have found extremists from both sides on this site and I am so motivated now to write about peace in the middle east more than anything else. it is very much related to Iran .....   haha 

Also Poetry is not my occupation. I am sorry but I do not get orders !!! Besides most of my poems are love poems. I am not much of a warrior poet but i do have written and published certain poems signed with my real name. Mostly with respect to the women rights.  

if you are interested in what I am standing for not only in respect to the middle east conflict but also to the current situation in Iran, I should refer you to all my other blogs and my comments on this site.  

ps...  I noticed the typo as soon as i submitted the blog but i could not do anything about it. Once the blog is not featured i can fix it. Lili mentioned it too but not with your tone .. It seems that my blog has hit some nerves in you ....  I can not stop laughing .

By the way, all of our scientific papers will be sent to the department's administration. There are people who are hired for proofreading before publications.  If your department does not have one it must be very poorly funded.  But you can still choose Standard Proofreading Services on line. 

Now how would you know that ?  lol 


Soosan Khanoom

By the way dear Lili

by Soosan Khanoom on

I also agree with you in terms of spreading this work and not have it limited to that certain forum.  

Thanks  


Onlyiran

Great! So, we know your EXACT stance on Israel / Palestine

by Onlyiran on

Thanks for giving us a detailed, nuanced explanation on your position on that issue:

 Also, we both are among those who are pro-Palestinians but not anti Israel. We seek a permanent peace and to do so we should acknowledge everyone's right by examining the current situation and the time we are living in NOW. 

How about Iran?  Any thoughts on that little country, or is it all about Israel / Plestine?

PS. Ms. Poet / scientist, it's not "When the bouganvilla stops blooming its time," but rather: When the bouganvilla stops blooming it's time.  Remember the distinction for your next reserach paper / poem.  It totally changes the meaning of the sentence.


Soosan Khanoom

That video is hilarious

by Soosan Khanoom on

Thanks a bunch dear Lili for posting..

: ) 


Tiger Lily

Ditto, SK Sista, your post made me smile, "smuggly"

by Tiger Lily on

and etc....

On the democratic piece bit, I'm right with ya, Sista! 

And the poem

you ought to spread it more. It's very well worth every letter, sound, image, quest and sentiment.

 


Soosan Khanoom

Thank you so much dear Lily

by Soosan Khanoom on


Thank you so much dear Lily for actually reading and understanding the poem. I am so grateful for your presence on this site.  Although, I am sure that the majority of silent readers are getting the points, but by just a few, I mean those who are willing to post a related and much knowledgeable comment. 

In a peace forum you are entitled to examine any situation. As we are living in a small world and events are so connected. According to my friend the idea came to her after watching *Shake Hands With the Devil" ...the story of General Roméo Dallaire, the head of the UN Peacekeeping Mission in Rwanda. //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shake_Hand ... 07_film%29  ...   

Also, we both are among those who are pro-Palestinians but not anti Israel. We seek a permanent peace and to do so we should acknowledge everyone's right by examining the current situation and the time we are living in NOW.  So we came up with a collaborative work here.. The point is when the God who should be uniting us has become the cause of our separation then THAT God is not the real deal but an invention of us.  We are worshiping GODS that we have created with our own hands. We are idol worshipers. Then what more can we expect from this paradoxical world, it resides and exist in opposites ,simanatics and is all symbolic?  Why should we look forward to anything while we have ignored life as it happens? 

By the way, these days we have to add another God to the list of our Gods. Another God who likes to kill and his name is Democracy.

The concept of God or Democracy is not wrong but the fact that people use these names to justify their killings and atrocities is so damn wrong.    

Peace can only be achieved if we worship nothing but Peace.

"middle east peace forum"... ::))

by SamSamIIII on

 

Ex hezbo-sabzollahi nihilistic post-june 15th depression?.. its an epidemic lately to see the ommatie crowd conversion to fake mossadeghists & athiests post-june 15th..

Well, just because their "political Alllah" failed em then why should Buddhists give up their God & religion!, just because "their" political allah maimed em why should private muslims give up their God & spirituality!, just because their political Allah fooled em then why should peacefull Zorostrians, Jews or christians give up on their beliefs!..

Its about time that ommatie crowd stop writing perscriptions & fatwas for the rest of humanity wether as nimcheh left-Imam worshiping fanatics or now as turn-coat overnight jahan vatani nomadic athiests...  

"middle east peace forum" is as real as "gay muslim candidate for republican" ::::)))... yaa habibi, al infijaar, death to the west, the jew, majous...etc. heeehaw

Cheers!!!

Bloomin' marvellous, thank you Sista* SK!

by Tiger Lily on

Truly enjoyed the very clever quests, zig-zag sounds, as well as the imagery. 

Just one question, is this supposed to be "its" or "it's". Either way would make sense to me and I would actually prefer "its", but 'thought I'd better ask:

"When the bouganvilla stops blooming its time "

 

Brilliant:

"If there is waiting to be done for a new birth,

the placenta has already died. "

At one stage, I read: the placenta has already dRied. 

LOL
