The Curse of a Shia Blogger

The Curse of a Shia Blogger, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

55 years
I have never seen snow
or how the winter winds blow
or blistered toes
shooting frozen tears
empty eye sockets
the curse of a shia blogger
shakir firoze
street poetry
pedestrian prose
bursting the dam
of a forehead
as blood flows
embedded as faith
that god knows
a shia samurai
walking on fire
in black clothes
karbala
the land of freedom
that god chose
through tears
sweat and blood
a spiritual terrorism
called yazidiyat
to expose
1400 years
against enemies of shiasm
unopposed
hussain is humanity
to our friends and foes
