The IndoPakistani One

By -
Note: This is a lyrical poem inspired by rock band Slipknot's The Negative One. It is originally written by guitarist James Root, and vocalist Corey Taylor.

Note (2): This poem describes how Pakistan has fallen so low politically. And how it might have been better if Pakistan and India had never gotten separated.

Tobacco and caffeine, a lot of nicotine
I'm going to burn so I better tell you everything
The socialism, the capitalism
Never mind 'cause you're never gonna get this
The same drama on a different channel
I'm bound to walk with a bomb strapped to my chest
At least I'm next in line to being called an extremist

The Two-Nation Theory
The crescent and star

You had to be set free

Opposing parties
Your choices are

The IndoPakistani One and me

Gandhi, why were we enemies?
I never follow and I never make apologies
Your dementias, are gonna get ya
Because your provinces can't support each other
Settle for the cynical, you're so political
You're getting ready 'cause the first move is critical
Hypocrisy, explains our idealism
What did we learn from our time in colonialism?

The Two-Nation Theory
The crescent and star

You had to be set free

Opposing parties
Your choices are

The IndoPakistani One and me

The Sindhi, The Pathan, The Punjabi
(they all will fall)
The cystic, symbolic condition
(systemic)
Egregious, replete with these regions
(contaminate)
Succumb to the selfish creation
(your failure)

No accountability, no divisibility
I point the finger but my own people are holding it against me
Lies being spread about anti-fascism
News centered on sarcasm
When the innocent begin to circumvent
The color fades, but the picture is vibrant
What do you believe? Does it matter now?
Turn away, the saints are on death row

The Two-Nation Theory
The crescent and star

You had to be set free

Opposing parties
Your choices are

The IndoPakistani One and me...

Dreamer Deceived

By -
The end is near For every lover But they do not fear Now they will run for cover But I dread you Mistook you for a dream In the mist I had seen you Walking on a stream I am a Dreamer My mind can create any scene I never wished to leave her She was my actual dream Still you persisted Calling me to insanity I, as a Dreamer, resisted Yet you dragged me into reality So what you were A miracle rarely seen And as a Dreamer I got Deceived by a dream...

Lahore Vampires

By -
Dark-brown eyed beauties Giving you signals for the night Long silky-brunette haired cuties Leaving you tongue-tied Faces with a white glow Black eyeliner on their eyes They never take it slow But who would believe my lies? From all that I know There are Vampires in Lahore Not mentioned in any folklore But from all that I know They feast on your blood Pit feelings never kept aside None of your words they have understood Now check your neck's side That is If you're still alive One teeth-gritted kiss And your life has more than died You are now the undead And amour is eternal Though if you trust a Lahore Vampire after you are dead The end will assuredly be infernal...
