A Shia Blogger Never Sleeps

A Shia Blogger Never Sleeps, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

in back clothes
he is clad
when the alams come
he will remove
his shirt
do blade matam
like his dad
the coming of age
of a hyderabadi lad
ghame hussain
an eternal moment
of pain very sad
a spiritual agony
that makes them mad
they accuse us
of blood shedding
but maintain
a eunuch silence
when suicide bombers
do deeds bad
in every
shia city
karbala baghdad
muslims love killing muslims
a sectarian launch pad
tears on the soul of
a bleeding notepad
a shia blogger
never sleeps
a poetic pause of pain
nothing more to add
