From 21 Ramzan
a door that leads
towards Moharam
from father to son
the shia pain
continues
his back bleeds
his chest bleeds
is head a fountain
of a river of blood
ghame hussain
his only excuse
a 1400 year
old protest
on the soul
of humanity to diffuse
who killed imam hussain
it was neither the hindus
nor the jews
accursed yazid
his gang of butchers
we accuse
yazidiyat
the path we shun
hussainiyat
the path we choose
our anguish
our pain or pathos
timelessly
we let loose
a mothers pain
a mothers tears
a path as our virtue
yes we are shias
in black winding sheets
of sorrow yesterday
today tomorrow
it is true
