Shia Resurgence of Faith

Shia Resurgence of Faith
Originally uploaded by flickr photographerno1

a shia child carries his heritage as he grows
that he is a shia the whole world knows ...
from the rivulets of his eyes
a tear of a tragedy as it flows
lachrymose
the color black the color of rose
among all the colors this color we chose
mournful memories in our clothes
enemies of shiasm are our foes
allah ho akbar we expose
reminiscences of karbala
every day is ashura
under their nose
ya hussain
ya hussain
we propose
through
azadari e hussain
through tabarrah
metamorphose
stamp of hussainiyat
we superimpose
we dont have to deny our faith
or hide our shiasm
or disclose
oops fuck taqqaiya
