Humanity

Humanity, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

humanity
the collective
ethos of man
we all know
hate
the greatest
religiosity
that wont
allow
man to grow
only pain
connects
man to man
man to god
although
as blood
on the soul
of disparity
shows
on the parched
pavement
of life
as it froze
shimmering
spectral
in death
throes
as a shia
pain is my
ancestral
inheritance
from my mothers
womb it flows
carried
by the winds
into my
souls windows
karbala
the land of
my destiny
my poetry and my prose
enemies of hussain
are my only foes
hussain o minni
wa ana minal hussain
a pain that
never goes
