Or by suppression of subordination
It means being destitute to lose all your dignity
Means no one can possibly read your concealed suffering
Only through tears will notice you exist

Fear and silence By Mohsin Hamid

mahmag  •  29 June, 2010


Because if we can be silenced when it comes to Ahmadis, then we can be silenced when it comes to Shias, we can be silenced when it comes to women, we can be silenced when it comes to dress, we can be silenced when it comes to entertainment, and we can even be silenced when it comes to sitting by ourselves, alone in a room, afraid to think what we think.

Review of the poem"mother" by Mahmoud Darwish/ Mahnaz badihian

mahmag  •  30 May, 2010

Darwish has many poems that are considered very strong, but I have always thought the poem he wrote to his mother is one of the strongest poems ever written for a mother. In this poem Mother is used as a metaphor for his homeland, for Palestine.
He starts the poem with a very iconic subject in Middle Eastern culture: Bread.

But the things are different,
because it happened different
I had moved to a place far from our garden
I have left my moon on the other side of the sky

The dictionary brain
once containing the

suddenly bursts like a bubble
