The fact that she believed in something I found absurd, was not the issue. At that moment in viewing that video, I was thinking about how much I wanted to beat the shit out of the bullies.
CONTEXT is why you are making stupid statements about what you think I am doing and who I am.
Her name was Neda Agha-Soltan. Neda's death was so horrific that remembering her name became a nightmare; otherwise, you would have remembered it!!!! Right?
Neda didn't die to satisfy your comfortable indignation. Not remembering her name doesn't honor her in the least, despite your feigned protest.
Fuck off! I'm looking for a poet that understands human condition and will challenge me with a verbal mirror. If you are a true poet then you will honor my challenge and show me, through the verbal mirror, the side that I should endeavor to be and not reinforce the side that I 'want' to see.
Put aside your self-indulgent rants. If you are the poet you claim to be, then hold up the fucking mirror! Like it or not, you have proven yourself to be inefectual at prose.
