BLOOD OATH

beneath the layer of our blood
which breaks the dam with force
karbala the land of a million tears
its source
through various countries
various shores
into the hearts of shias
an ocean of hussainiyat
its course
each year a blood oath
we reinforce
breaking open
a million doors
read our faith beneath
ghame hussain
no greater pain or remorse
we want to live in peace
but yazidiyat
is bent
on settling scores
bombing our holy shrines
our mosques
while the conscience
of humanity snores.
