Salman Rushdie

"A poet's work is to name the unnamable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world and to stop it from going to sleep."

Salman Rushdie

From Bad Son

Father said, "Son, ask me for anything and I'll grant you."
"Let those hungry be fed,
      Let those slaves be free
           Let peace prevail
                As long as the eyes see."
                                                       Said son.

"You are a bad bad son. Don't live in my house!'

"You are a bad bad human. Don't live in my world."
