A very British poet:

ZIA AHMED

“Zia Ahmed is a softly spoken poet-philosopher from north west London, who has been a London Laureate, Roundhouse Slam Champion, and recipient of the Channel 4 Playwrights Scheme. He is currently writing a play in collaboration with the Paines Plough theatre company. We can’t stop playing his EP SAMA released under the title NIWEMANG (available on Spotify). On it, he softly speaks downtrodden, self-effacing and spaced out monologues over sparse jazzy soundscapes. His romantic stoned dispatches of street life are addictive and peaceful. For the full enjoyment, his poem ‘Home’ is best read out loud.”

“HOME”

i‘m running running like thoughts running from

thoughts rattling from the constant battling broken pieces

floating tokens token gestures token jester open sesame

ali baba forty thieves forty grievances nothing to pledge

allegiance with trapped in a box ballerina chopped off

for bhangra man dance monkey dance to the music of the

snake charmer i am karma i am kama sutra i am ni tu hune

hune hoi mutiyar mundian to bach ke rahin i am your gap

year you said you were lost i hope you found yourself i am

slumdog millionaire downward dog eight headed god i am

shiva al-qaeda i am auditioning for the role of terrorist

one yes i can do that in an arabic accent i am dhalsim i am

bollywood season on channel four at two in the morning

i am ganges i am gandhi i am jinnah i am five pillars i am

sinner i am cinnamon i am cardamom i am not invited to

the houses of parliament i am sharif don’t like it rock the

casbah stop the fatwa allahu akbar allahu akbar la illa ha

illalah i am england no you’re not mate look at your face i

am england shirt made in bangladesh i am brick lane i am

curry house of the year two thousand and five i am rogan

josh i am so damn lost i am so damn lost just looking for a

place that’s home

looking for a shape that’s whole mera joota hai japani

home is where your heart is yeh patloon inglastani nah

home is where your heart lifts sar pe lal topi russi nah

home is where your arse fits phir bhi dil hai nah home is

where you’re ok to stay till you leave in a casket

phir bhi dil hai...
