Bulleh Shah Quotes

The Rose Vol. 2 (2005)

Whenever I’m ready to get a six-pack, I will go into beast zone and work my a– off until I have it, But right now, my little FUPA and I feel like we are meant to be.

J. R. Puri & T. R. Shangari: Bulleh Shah, The Love-Intoxicated Iconoclast, Radha Soami Satsang Beas, Amritsar, India, 1986

Got bitches on my jock out in East Detroit
'Cause they think that I'm a motherfucking Beastie Boy

The violence of beast on beast is read
As natural law, but upright man
Seeks his divinity by inflicting pain.

In a jungle town
Where the sun beats down
To the rage of man and beast,
The English garb
Of the English sahib
Merely gets a bit more creased.
In Bangkok
At twelve'o'clock
They foam at the mouth and run,
But mad dogs and Englishmen
Go out in the midday sun.
