So Let Them Rule The World! Poem by Taslima Nasrin

So Let Them Rule The World!

Rating: 4.1


Just let them be free to do as they please…

Let all the doors of the world's arsenals swing open for them…
Let them wield their swords and hang rifles from their waists…
Let them clutch grenades in their fists…

And with the grand inspiration of Dar-ul-Islam in their minds
Let them go out onto the streets and behead the infidel…

Let them torture women until death,
after wrapping their obedient heads with veils,
and confining them to their rooms…

Let the rapists go berserk door to door
to copulate in their erect hysteria,
so that they can beget male babies to overcrowd the world.

Let all the men become Talibans overnight…
Let them seize the entire planet
from Argentina to Iceland, from Maldives to Morocco,
from the Bahamas to Bangladesh…

May the whole universe become their citadel…

Let the leaders of the world bow down
upon the sacred land of Islam…
And let them crown the heads of these terrorists, one by one.

Yes, let the world's leaders apologize with folded hands
for their own cruel misdeeds…
Let them together imbibe the holy water—
the filthy liquids of these true believers—
so as to be blessed by their grace.

Poetess is screaming out of a pain, a true personal one, both mental and physical she is going through so that the rest of the world be heard. What she has in her heart seems different to what her lips yell out. We already know who she is. Let us rise in unity to support to her course.

I think I get what Nasrin is saying, but don’t think she’d write this if she herself or those dear to her were the ones being violated. But history and current reality are embodied in her line, let the world’s leaders apologize... And we who live in the neocolonial countries share responsibility—a saying credited by some to Jesus, Only the destitute are innocent. -GK

A very caustic commentary on the armed terrorists, social terrorists and pliable political leadership across the world. Leaves a lot to think upon. Thanks.
