Hussain was Betrayed

Hussain was Betrayed, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

Hussain
was betrayed
by those who supposedly
believed in Allah
his Holy Messenger
5 times they prayed
by these lovers of Yazid
Hussain was waylaid
these eunuchs watched
his murder
but no one came
to his aid
Only Zuljana
a four legged
animal unafraid
he gave his head
but not his hand
his purpose unswayed
his head against
shimrs blunt blade
his grandfathers heritage
with his life he saved
hussain is humility
hussain is humanity
with this sacrifice
thus portrayed
yazidiyat is terrorism
against mankind
a misguided crusade
a blackmail an extortion
of a so called
spiritual trade
