Abu Nuwwas reincarnated?
I stumbled over this 'poem' yesterday, performed by a young artist. When I heard it my associations went automatically to Abu Nuwwas and one of his poems about "Fucking the people" (or the establishment if you may).
I know of course that it's a risky endeavor to compare any young writer to Abu Nuwwas. It is wrong for two reasons:
1) No one compares to Abu Nuwwas when it comes to provocations, erotic fantasies and ingenuity.
2) How can I say that Abu Nuwwas wrote poems about fucking the people and the establishment? The last hundred years fascist islamists have tried to censor and burn the evidence of Abu Nuwwas being a provocateur and an early resistance poet (the last attempt on restoring Abu Nuwwas' legacy was made by the Egyptian government in 2001, after pressure from the earlier mentioned fascist islamists, when they burnt 6000 of his books... Well done! Mabrouk!)
Abu Nuwwas encourages you to fuck the religious establishment, no wonder the religious establishment retaliates now - 1200 years after.
(How did the story about the male and female spider go?)

Way to go...
Egypt is my mother, its Nile is in my blood, even my color is wheaty...
he-spidey ate she-spidey, by the way... they were a non-religious pair.
Thought so...
hmmm...
and so since the flies i swat are my muse and inspiration, here's an idea...
one common element between our norms, ie, the arabians and the rus (also referred to erratically later on by others as 'vikings'), is that we both name our kids occasionally after warlords, warriors, bloody predators, and the like, ya knoo, that sorta kinda thingy... so i suggest we serve it on a platter as it is, kind of like the evolution of native american names...
So your reference here would be to Father of an Oscillant, another blog would start as 'Batallion sent me a joke...,' The Essential had some very interesting comments earlier and Goddess has the world's greatest smile...
on the other hand, some people will just remain walpoles...
I would rather call him the father of swinging, in light of his swinging life... but that's me...
