Moharam Keeps Me Alive

Moharam Keeps Me Alive, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

i am an adherent
to pain call me
what you want
taunt me
mock me
ridicule me
i am a
follower
of humanity
a revered
name
hussain
engraved
embossed
in bold cuts
of the dagger
a single thought
remains ..i live
i breathe . i die
ya hussain
ya hussain
moharam
ashura
karbala
on a bleeding
membrane
rest everything
meaningless
inane
