Poetry: Postmodern photocopy

The article presents a poem titled 'Poetry: Postmodern photocopy' by Azerbaijani poet Bahtiyar Hidayet. The poem critically depicts a powerful, wealthy, and seemingly ruthless individual, using vivid imagery such as a villa with 99 towers bearing names of God, a pool with a shark, exotic animal products for clothing, ivory teeth, and a gold toilet bowl. The poet repeatedly expresses fear that this individual's power and appetite for more will lead to destructive outcomes, frequently invoking 'Amen' and associating the figure with Idi Amin, suggesting a critique of dictatorial or corrupt power. The poem also touches upon themes of societal decay and the concept of people becoming 'photocopies'.
