is stark
pathetic
filled
with
fear and pain
begging on
the streets
near the mosque
for a morsel
a handful of grain
inside the mosque
head bowed
in prayers
they invoke
allah
again and again
they ask
for more
ludicrously
gluttonously
ravenously
gifts
they must attain
they are the biggest
beggars including
the mullah
who on their behalf
with god bargains
on the soul of humanity
thunder clouds rains
they ask for everything

but forget
the greatest gift
ghame hussain
through
blood tears
our sorrow
in our hearts
remain
