through
the mesh
of the hijab
slits as eyes
she watches
sadly as
the seasons fly
they all rush
for friday namaz
the muezzins
call but who
has time to
hear her cries
she is a
million times
unluckier than
the vestal nubile
virgins in paradise
on a parched
soul of sorrow
weeping skies
the beggar poets
soul decries
a million fatwas
filled with lies
beat her trample
her rape her
choke her voice
she is chattel
a sacrificial lamb
for the greater
good of man
she dare
not make
a single noise
allah ho akbar
peace on earth
live rejoice
a muslim beggar
woman
on the soul of
humanity
a broken toy

I was in the cab with my wife and without saying a word as the txi slowed down I rushed out and shot a few frames caught up with the cab after the signal.. my soul saw this and poetry needed text to ad this image of pain..

ethnic cleansing continues
sectarian hatred continues
suicide bombing continues
a jihad of hate breaking news ..
muslims killing muslims continues

bludgeoning blows
high cost of living
streets as home
a homily place
time fucked
his ass
while lady luck
covered his face
he lost the race
he will go away
burnt on borrowed
logs of termite
infested wood
leave no trace
man the only
commodity
you can easily
replace
his life
is more
cheaper
than roadside
strays
they keep
talking
about who
will be
the next
president
the only
important
issue
as always
media wont
cover his story
his life a fucked
disgrace ,,
timeless space
nebulous
nightmares
is what he must
chase dirt
filth
ignominy
he must
embrace
ashes
to ashes
dust to dust
deathly pace
his god deaf
dumb mute
wont hear
his prayers
man one time
use faulty
machinery
you cant repair
