Islamic Republic Of Egypt
"What is going on in Egypt" ? friends who know of my background ask me these days. My answer, "I don't know but it has the potential to be a major disaster. The timing of the protest in Cairo after what happened in Tunisia point out that there is tremendous underground current going on in most Islamic countries.
"did you see the crowd and the bloodshed "? a friend asked, and before I could answer another friend shouted from the other side of the locker room. "yeah it reminds me of something similar that happened in 1978 in Iran". Well unfortunately for Egyptian what happened in Iran brought nothing but Mayhem and blood shed and tyranny of Religious fanatics to that country. There has been so much corruption and thievery that one of the richest oil countries in the world is on the brink of bankruptcy.
Since the revolution. Iran has lost over two million of its youth in the war with Iraq. The Iranian money has devalued more than 1000 percent. The salary of most government workers would not even pay their rent, and the young women specially in Tehran have found Prostitution as a mean to support their families. The supreme Leader
and his cronies, including President Ahmadinejad spend more on the Army and their perverted ambitions of becoming a nuclear power than betterment of the economy. It is rather shocking that people in Iran have to stay in long lines to get fuel for their cars at inflated prices.
Of course there is black market for everything, and usually it is the clergies in power that enjoy the fruit of that ,
Rafsanjani's kids were famous to have their own port in south and receive shipments of Wheat, butter, sugar and produce and sell them through their own wholesale channels through out Iran. There is also an inside struggle amongst the clergies and they each have come to have their own minion of thugs armies to hold their positions.
Last year during the GREEN uprising it was not the army that fought the protesters but BASIG group paid by Mr Khamenei and Ahmadinejad. These were groups of thugs transported from Beirut HEZBILLUH to the streets of Tehran to kill and maim the Iranian Youth. It is said that they were paid daily wages of $200 dollars a day.
It is easy to see how Iranian revolution had become the manual for groups like Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood on how to instigate an uprising and how to take over a country by using religions potent spells and the ignorance of the masses. Poverty is a dangerous disease and stimulated by ignorance it becomes a force beyond belief. the peoples problem with Ahmadinejad government and his reelection was due to his incompetence in running the government since during the time That Mousavi had run the government the Iranian economy had tremendous growth but Ahmadinejad has brought nothing bu inflation and misery to its constituents.
There is the problem the west and the united States have to deal with. Does Mubarak leaving would solve the problem or just creates a gap for Muslim Brotherhood to move in and practice the same fanatic policies we have seen in Iran. Is the secular fraction in Egypt strong enough to hold out the Muslim Brotherhood out of the government. Does a Islamic Republic of Egypt would lead to more uprising in Muslim countries. Prince Abdullah would not wager against neither would the king of Saudi Arabia and all the other Oil rich countries of the region.
Europe should also worry for Turkey does have a religious government and enough poverty and ignorance within its masses to join the other Islamic Republics, and at some point Western Europe and United States have to go head to head against their perverted ambitions. I don't think they have the means or the stomach for that

Writing Partners 2
" What is your fascination with her' I asked, as I turned away from the window looking at her. She got up found the key and turned off the light. She walked to the window. "come and watch with me" she said. I turned back standing next to her. "There , you see where the shadows cover the side of the street and then the darkness begins. You see how it moves in covering further." she whispered. " I see, but ......" I asked. " That is you wearing the night , turning away, that is life settling in its depth" she continued , now her voice calm her speech deliberate."And....." I asked again looking back at her. she turned to me and smiled.
"Now look here, you see where the light begins on the top of that building and how it over powers everything , bringing clarity to all you see, that is me, I am pretentiously brazen and I am coming your way" She said now with a bit of humor in her voice. "And... is there a profound lesson in this, or Just the perversion of your curiosity and the modesty of my acceptance " I asked, faking anger.
"no. no, you see she lurks somewhere in the shadows where you hide her, and for me to know you better I need to find her and lite her up" , she said with a sober voice. I took a step back from her, What does she got to do with our project, I don't think I like this", I complained.
She stepped forward now standing right in front of me, looking strait into my eyes." Think about this. There is an amazing similarity in the life you have lived so far and our character. I know she is a female and you are a male, but
the similarities are boundless. If we find you , we will find her and that woman is a big chunk of why you are here."
she said with a smile on her face , feeling happy about her statement and her discovery.
"Why don't you have a few session with Doctor Klein and he would tell you about me", I said frowning.
"What ever Dr Klein knows about you, is clinical, I need, actually we need to find the man ourselves." she said reaching to hold my hand.

Venus abandoned............ for Jen
I still feel your teeth,
braking the skin,
and the sharp blades
that cut my soul to pieces ,
the pleasure of your pain
I have felt you inside roaming
like a drunken ghoul , tearing me all
skin and bone and I shivered of the thought of you
your fangs in me, you nails, your tongue
as you hiss, my sweet carnivore
hungry for me
your chains, my hands
your chains, my feet, my ribs
arms, my dreams, as you hang me
swinging in air, my joy , your pain
just to realise I am yours
in this forever
beauty of thousand masks
you stand in the mirror, creamy
bared skin, your shoulders I remember
your breasts , your nipples, strawberries
your lips bleeeding red, your face,
your hair crowding rebels
holding your sex, as you turn your face,
Venus abandoned
you dared to venture close
as I burned you flesh and bones
with my tongue, a love blossomed
a death born, and the air
between my breath and your skin
became the distance between my life
and your death, my teeth and your shoulders
I have been here for ages
and yet ............................................

Abandoned Flesh.................... For Jen
you thread in solidity of bones, its the flesh
that remembers, its the skin that shivers and yet
they are lost in the length of a day. I could see the
depth of the pain where loneliness dwells and stays,
where the sounds echo but they don't return.......................
white,where has life left this spread,
I blow my warmest breath to make
it simmer and my tongue, my lips to kiss and caress...............
Don't abandon the flesh, bones stay left
bones are reality of this macabre, but flesh
is where we dwell, where we dare.
where poets kneel and pray
where the time stands
as the stranger mounds, loud
he cries, loud for all there is
is at last at hand
