Dried Blood Flakes

as the blood flows
the earth shakes
hussain is humanity
every day is ashura
every land is karbala
the soul whispers
the heart aches
our pain their
original sin
their sanctimoniousness
all fake
with the chant
of blood
we keep their
dead consciousness
awake
kill us
persecute us
burn us
at the stake
ghame hussain
the history of pain
we narrate
every moharam
hussain we
wont forsake
our blood
reminds
yazids
of the modern
world
of a guilt
horrendous
mistake
tears
translucent
glistening
up close
on the
uptake
as they
watch us
with faces
bewildered
opaque
