Ghame Hussain..Vintage Pain, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

sweeping the heart
sweeping the brain
in memory
of hussain
the grandson
of the holy prophet
who by his followers
was brutally slain
on the soul of islam
an irremovable
blood stain
his killers
blood stained
hands
yazidi reign
a short term profit
no long term gain
a gruesome murder
simple and plain
tears on a tragic terrain
karbala now
in embedded
in our hearts remain
blood flowing from the
river Euphrates
into the Mashke Sakina
as it drains
after karbala
after the carnage
sham sham sham
snatched ridas
women
children
an imam
in chains
