Sind
Found this quotation by a Pakastani transport worker named Sind, from his suicide note (quoted in The Clash of Fundamentalisms, by Tariq Ali - great book):
"I have lost patience. Me and my fellow-workers have been protesting the non-payment of our salaries for a long time. But nobody takes any notice. My wife and mother are seriously ill and I have no money for their treatment. My family is starving and I am fed up with quarrels. I don't have the right to live. I am sure the flames of my body will reach the houses of the rich one day."
The world is a vampire. Billy Corgan said that.
