Newspeak(s)

It is difficult to get the news from poems yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there. --- William Carlos Williams

Prayer Outlawed


Paris ban on Muslim street prayers comes into effect
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-14945467?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
Thousands roll woven rugs
Onto ancient cobblestones in Paris
Prostrating despite the passersby
Thinking only of Allah
What public servant, what breed of man,
Will forbid their prayers?
