“هل لقُبلةٍ طَمَحَتْ ؟ .. قد كوانيَ العَطَشُ
إن لَثَمْتُها بِفَمي .. فالشِفاهُ تنخَدِشُ
أو جَمَشتُها بيدي .. نَهْدُها سينجَرِشُ
فارسٌ؟! أنا فرسٌ .. خاملٌ ، وقد نقشوا
في قفايَ جُملتَهُمْ : " زَهْرُ حَظِّهِ ضَبَشُ "

“If religion is the opiate of the people, tradition is an even more sinister analgesic, simply because it rarely appears sinister. If religion is a tight band, a throbbing vein, and a needle, tradition is a far homelier concoction: poppy seeds ground into tea; a sweet cocoa drink laced with cocaine; the kind of thing your grandmother might have made.”
― Zadie Smith, White Teeth
