Iron in our Blood …Shia Souls

Iron in our Blood …Shia Souls
Originally uploaded by flickr photographerno1

indian parakeet

walks on embers of fire

fisticuffed barefeat

black clothes

my winding sheet

the winds

that beat my soul

ya hussain ya hussain

repeat

a whiff of karbala

in a pounding hearbeat

blood flowing

from my forehead

like a thought so sweet

inshallah

next moharram

at the Imams Roza

we will meet

a folder called

Yazidiyat

together we

will delete

a work without which

our mission

of hussainiyat

is not complete

ya ali ya ali

a victory cry

Iraqs Freedom

a drum beat

the imperialism

hegemony

of the oppressors

falling back in defeat

our shia angst

iron in our blood

flesh as concrete
