Intellectual Superstar


Edward Said, born in Jerusalem,
Theorist and advocate for Palestinian rights,
Stirred the world through his "Orientalism",
And standing for the Palestinians for days and nights.

 

At times, between worlds, he lived,
Earning the ostensible name, ‘troublemaker’,
Yet, ease in languages left many astonished,
Let’s thank this soul for ‘Occidentalism’ and ‘The Other’.

 

Rest in peace wherever you are,
Salute you, the intellectual superstar!
