Mairead Case

See also: Binyavanga Wainaina, whose words overlap poetically and emotionally, if obviously-not-contextually: "This is what you do to get ahead: make yourself boneless, and treat your strait-jacket as if it is a game, a challenge. The city is now all on the streets, sweet-talk and hustle."

Also I like the mix between a post-full moon and scanning back to re-read the poem. Nice.

You know things are really bad when lawyers are rioting.

But good luck getting anyone concerned about the oppression of lawyers. Fat chance.

And people complain that we look after our own? Sure, no-one else will, except us, that is, when we're not busy looking after everyone else.

Thanks, Mairead, and thanks, TallSkinny. Taking a cue from Mairead, I added a link to Wainaina's brilliant, sarcastic, devasting piece in Granta.
Just so folks get where TallSkinny's coming from: He (and other progressive lawyers, here in Chicago & around the U.S.) really do look after people and defend the interests of folks w/ little access to power & privilege. Contributors, comment-posters, and visitors to T.P.S.M. tend to be legal workers or lawyers in the public-interest sector. (Never mind the punk rockers, wig-wearin' artists, and folks who took "Pagan" seriously and hoped to find candle-magick advice.)

"You know things are really bad when lawyers are rioting."

The lawyers are doing things close enough to rioting for the Pakistani police to beat them up. This doesn't really show they're actually rioting though, or even protesting. All it really shows is they are not running away from the police fast enough.

An epic (from the Ancient Greek adjective ἐπικός (epikos), from ἔπος (epos) "word, story, poem") is a lengthy narrative poem, ordinarily concerning a serious subject containing details of heroic deeds and events significant to a culture or nation.Oral poetry may qualify as an epic, and Albert Lord and Milman Parry have argued that classical epics were fundamentally an oral poetic form. Nonetheless, epics have been written down at least since Homer, and the works of Vyasa, Virgil, Dante Alighieri and John Milton would be unlikely to have survived without being written down. The first epics are known as primary, or original, epics. Epics that attempt to imitate these like Virgil's Aeneid and Milton's Paradise Lost are known as literary, or secondary, epics. One such epic is the Anglo-Saxon story Beowulf.Another type of epic poetry is epyllion (plural: epyllia) which is a brief narrative poem with a romantic or mythological theme. The term, which means 'little epic', came in use in the nineteenth century. It refers primarily to the type of erotic and mythological long elegy of which Ovid remains the master; to a lesser degree, the term includes some poems of the English Renaissance, particularly those influenced by Ovid. One suggested example of classical epyllion may be seen in the story of Nisus and Euryalus in Book IX of Aeneid.

Because I feel that in the heavens above
The angels, whispering one to another,
Can find among their burning tears of love,
None so devotional as that of "Mother,"
Therefore, by that dear name I have long called you,
You who are more than mother unto me.
~Edgar Allan Poe
