Facebook: A poem by Dr. Rafey Habib

[CommanderP]

Ahhh I loved it! Curious though: is this meant to be serious or ironic?

[zOmAlGaNg23]

Astaqfirullah! Subhanallah!

king in your own domain

god of your own tragic space

sharing with other gods godesses

kings and queens

of virtual indifference to broken dreams.

thats your SHIRK poem and you claim that you are a

muslim, this is ishrak and kuffr fantasy, may allah guide you!

@zOmAlGaNg23 If you actually bother to LISTEN to the poem before passing judgement, you will see that it is a CRITIQUE of a modern social tendency. Like many Muslims ignorant of their own religion, you rush to judgement.

interesting

in the 6th form study room at my school, almost everyone has a Facebook window opened or minimized on their screen- Its taken over everyone's lives completely eek!

Although this poem portrays Fb as somewhat of a magical paradise, to me it still manages to also portray the negatives e.g wasting 'real' life away on Fb and it raises questions such as "what is 'real' life?" and "Does 'real life' hold any more value than 'virtual life'?"

This is great. :)

Amazingly true. A brilliant psychoanalytic view of Facebook..... from a physician.

I like it.

Chris Barrett, I really like the wide variety of amazing videos you post!

This is a really clever poem -- I've never used Facebook myself, but this seems to pretty much sum up what I've heard.
