Black and White

Yes she is a Shiite
her strength
the indomitable spirit of her race
hidden beneath layers black and white
every year in moharam
a pledge we rewrite
ya hussain
a chant
a holistic healing plaint
reverbrates day and night
karbala and ashura
corner stone of our grit determination
without borders of country or nationality
we as shias reunite
allah ho akbar
within the drop of a tear
lies abbas alamdars might
nade ali within our inner sight
mash ke sakina maksade hussain
was not a battle for political supremacy
but of Truth Justice Equality and Human Rights
he gave his head but not his hand to Yazid
Hazrat Imam Hussain beloved grandson of the Holy Prophet
through the dark chapters of Islamic turbulence
He gave us Eternal Light
Muslims love killing Muslims
Reality bytes
a curse that adds
to our collective plight
the hand that feeds is the
hand that smites
Trampling the serpent head
Of Yazidiyat
The goal of all Shiites
