Faith

Little young Delilah
Lost in the woods
Where vultures preyed
On the innocent souls

Feeling alone, lost and scared
She fumbled humbly for food
A lunchbox dear Mom made
Some rice, veggies and fruit

Our Survival Depends Upon Feb Elections

By The Pakistani Spectator • Feb 5th, 2008 • Category: Pakistan Vote'08, Politics

18th February elections in Pakistan are somewhat different in the sense that they are not yet another Nora-Wrestling match between Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto. They are perhaps yet another dealt-with, pre-decided, Nora-Wrestling, but this time between new players for the new stakes.
