Tears on the Soul of Karbala

perhaps in her dreams she sees what we dont see
tears on the soul of karbala our pain our poetry
hussain who gave a new start and set the ummah free
from yazidiyat its corruption and its unislamic heresy
muslims love killing muslims different branches
of a single tree rooted to Allah his munificene
his omniresence a thought we all agree
they were muslims who killed hussain
the beloved grandson of the holy prophet
they know but yet disagree
karbala is a fight for truth justice equality
and not a political quest for supremacy
he gave his head but not his hand
from a battle a loaded dice he did not flee
now dont ask why the shias are different
despite the sectarian disparity
more human, more emotional ,
shedding blood sweat and tears
hussain thy name humanity
the life line of our sorrow ghame hussain
1400 years alive and kicking on parity
trampling underfoot yazidiyat
its pride and vanity -
shiasm an oasis of a spiritual sanity
