the only emotion that binds us humanly is pain

the only emotion that binds us humanly is pain, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

whatever
our differences
it brings us
together again
eternal pain
we all get wet
when it rains
on the spectral
surface
of our consciousness
it drains
for you on
good friday
it was jesus
while i cut
my head
on ashura
for hussain
called a
rafidi
heretic
crazy
insane
i relive
karbala
i relive
pain
which binds
unknowingly
me to you
in a cosmic chain
did the centurion
feel compassion
what really
did he gain
love in his heart
or what is it
wisdom of
the brain
