My Kama Matam Chehlum Mumbai 2012, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
some say
it is not part
of the creed
but i bleed
simply
because
terrorism
muslims
killing muslims
much before
the tyranny of yazid
a serpent seed
it was imam hussains
ultimate sacrifice
from this bondage
had us freed
but muslims
being muslims
are back to power
back to greed
away from
the message
of peace brotherhood
bombs exploding
every eid
the poor muslim
begs in a hijab
with her child
on the street
destroyed
by karmic fate
a cosmic stampede
running amok
rogue mullahs
in the lead
a weeping reed
a wanting seed
all around
dead bodies
blown up hope
is this what
we really need
