Ronnie, You've read my intentions in the poem perfectly. This is rare...such resonance with a reader.
Thanks a lot. The incoherence is also from trying to quote Pervez Musharraf exactly. You can follow up the story in Dawn, The News, The Daily Times. Try reading to Musharraf your cool poem 'Feminisim'!!!
