Rezwan bids farewell to the civic poet. Siddhartha at Sepia Mutiny collects links to tributes in the blogosphere and the MSM.
Over the next several days I was shown an unshaven poet struggling to breathe. Following days the world saw a confused and improper poet lying restless in his bed. Footage of semiconscious poet trying to remove his oxygen mask, pulling off IV lines and other tubing was telecast by different channels with great pride. Then we saw a hole in poet’s throat through which he was getting mechanical breathes.
Rumi is aghast at the ‘overzealous’ journalism during the poet’s final days.
