Malicious Clips

Relying on misplaced video clips for seeking knowledge is inimical to the spirit of human civilization— argues Mujeeb Jaihoon

With neither head nor tail
Sans any begin or end

Disliked as a barren land
Despised as a misborn child

Tasteless this wine
Scentless this perfume

Ignorance in disguise
Wisdom in distress

Fortune of fools
Scorn of sages

Save me, O Most Wise-
From these Malicious Clips
