I am human

I am human
Originally uploaded by flickr photographerno1

like you or
the guy next door
a bit crazy
but not hardcore
i hurt as you hurt
but when you hurt me
i hurt more
come moharram
i hurt no more
just a single chant
my life i underscore
i cut i bleed
a wound that
pains no more
a greater pain
of karbala
my wretched soul
will not ignore
a shia thug
she takes me for
i am what i am
she is responsible for
omerta
her code of silence
even god cannot restore.

archived sorrows
tearful tomorrows
as a afterthought
a petulant
pigeon toed
peace like never before
