What Does The Muslim Boy See

through the venetian blind of life
what does the Muslim boy see
sectarian strife Muslims killing
Muslims mercilessly
destroying Shia mosques
Sufi shrines on the soul
of Islam what agony
eunuch silence
prevails in
the community
as another devout
misguided
human missile
once again
gets ready to
destroy
humanity
Allah Ho Akbar
the call for prayers
getting blown up
finally
bleeding scriptures
weeping Koranic verses
bodies burnt mangled
a mother cries
silently
from the clutches
of enslaved society
her young son
is finally free

a poem captured wordlessly
some call it photography
