THESE AREN’T A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS

Are you in the mood for a Julie Andrews song? Well I am not, so you’ll just have to settle for this:

Sung to the tune of My favourite Things

Bomb drops on ‘targets’ and suicide bombing the masses
Imperialist dogma and alleged sectarian clashes
Anthrax laced packages tied up with strings
These aren’t a few of my favorite things
Sold out mainstream media and brain dead sheeple
Kidnapping and detention and ‘rendition’ of people
Fascists that think they are leaders or kings
These aren’t a few of my favorite things
Skinheads in white robes with swastika sashes
Govt. cameras that continuously spy on the masses
Manufactured intelligence and the invasion it brings
These aren’t a few of my favorite things
Again they talk war, again they sell fear, and I think “what the f*#k?”
Now there’s no use hiding in a bunker but I wish us all good luck!

[rinse and repeat]

    @Jaded: I bow in return.

    @PsycheD: I hope not, won’t get any rest if that turns out to be true.

    @Sidhusaaheb: Sheeple – Sheeple is a term of disparagement, created by combining the words “sheep” and “people”; a reference to herd mentality.

    @Hammad: Wordpress might be blocked by some ISPs in Pakistan, unfortunately. A few bloggers have complained to me.
