Mama Promise Me One Day You Will Send Me To School, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
mother
we beggars
too can dream
a school uniform
a water bottle
a school bag
me playing
for the cricket
team..bouts
of loneliness
depleted
day dreams
mama please
tell me why
as muslim beggars
why do they say
we are not part
of the mainstream
why does this pathetic
difference as thought
opinion become
extreme as muslims
why did not god
give us a muslim
bloodstream
bismillah arahmanirahim
we are mere particles
of what he deems
he saves he redeems
