MALADY CONTINUES

Then Karim woke up from never sleeping

His eyes were blood shot without ever drinking

He would like to taste drink

Hard core drink

Whisky

Maybe?

He would like to try everything which makes one forget

Does one ever forget anything?

But that's what he was told....

One forgets all after being high

And whisky must make you high

Otherwise why all the people on this planet talk about it?

Why spend so much money to have something which doesn't have

great effect on you and change your disposition from low to something

Sublime....................

Sublime!

What a sublime word!

Its all words

Isn't it?

Words, words, words

Happy

Sad

Depressed

Grieving

Tragic

Thrilled

Sorrow

Joy

Elation

Mood

Hungry

Love

Hungry for love

That's what it was

Hunger

Enormous hunger

Karim was hungry

Karim was hungry for love

He hasn't eaten love for days

He hasn't eaten love for months

He hasn't eaten love for years

Karim has never eaten love

What does it taste like?

What does love taste like?

Karim wants to taste love

And than eat it

He wants to eat love three times a day

Regularly

He wants to eat regularly like the foreigners do

Like all the tall, good looking, muscular white men with blue eyes

And blond hair

Who came to fight him and men like him, dark, with dark hair, not so muscular

and not so tall

But dark

Very dark

Almost scary

Karim heard they eat three meals

So they can stay healthy

And fight not so muscular, dark, short men oddly dressed

Karim heard that the strength in fighting the enemy was to eat three meals

Karim wants to eat love three times

His three meals to fight his desire to love his enemy

But no.....

Karim doesn't want to fight his desire to love his enemy

To make love with his tall blond, blue eyed enemy

Karim wants the three meals of love regularly to feed his desire to hold the tall

blond, blue eyed snipper holding enemy in his arms and put his dark lips on his

pale lips and lock himself in the embrace of love

Love and love only

He wants to love

Not fight

Love and love only

Embrace of love

The embrace of eternity of love

In the mountains of Pashnunstan

The name of his birth place

The place blond people were fighting for

The place which was horrid and

Hayunting

Haunting since centuries

People always came here to fight

Karim's grand father used to tell him all the stories of

Chenghes Khan

And

Alexander the great

They all came here to fight

Fight for what?

These ominous mountains?

These ravines?

The almond orchards?

The opium?

The minerals in the mountains?

What for?

All this killing

All this blood pouring from the desolate mountains

All the crying and the wailing of all the remining human beings

Crying over the loss of their loved ones

Why?

Why fight?

Karim never understood all the damage and sorrow

Useless

Waste

Death

Karim was only seeking for love and how to make love

The eternal truth

The eternal beauty of life

Love

And only love

Nothing but love

And love with this man who came to kill him

Karim wants to tell the man who came to kill him from so far away

That he wants to love him

But how can he do that?

How can he tell him that?

The tall white man will shoot him a thousand times if Karim ever came near him

So the truth will die with the shooting

The bullets when they pierce the body, they pierce the truth to smithreens

After Karim is dead with the thousand bullets

The truth of his love for the tall,blue eyed man will never be revealed

And if its revealed while Karim is alive

That would be another ferocious killing by his own dark, short, non muscular men

Revenge

They will take revenge for the dishonor to their tribe

How could Karim, a muslim man fighting for his honor and his country tell

The enemy, the kafir with blue eyes and blond hair with a bomb in his hand in Karim's

Own land that he would like to kiss him and hold him and make love with him for the

Rest of his days...............

No one on this planet can imagine this scenario....

This tragic malady

Karim's dangeous, exotic, feverish malady

Karim wants to make love with the enemy

Karim's enemy is Karim's lover

Karim wants to eat his lover with a ferocious appetite and cherish the taste like a ripe plum

From his own gardens

Karim Wants to commit the eternal sin and wants to be punished by love

Love and only love

Love was the nightmare and love was the dream and love was the malady

Karim's malady continues

Karim's malady will continue till his lovers bullets will pierce his virgin body.
