drunk
pervert
a man she
did not trust
a man who
made her
a drunk too
motherhood
bites the dirt
the innocent
child on
the threshold
for no fault
but accidental
birth
genetically
gets hurt
lying inert
if it could go
back in the
womb a drop
of semen washed
ashore by bad luck
its fate could revert
become unborn
once again without
any effort ,,,

pause
sitting
on the road
like a rolling
stone gathering
loss ,,,essence
of humility
effect and cause
a misplaced jihad
killing innocent
people total
chaos ..muslims
love killing muslims
a misplaced
martyred ethos
rehabilitating
the poor the homeless
a thought that does
not come across
72 nubile virgins
in paradise wooed
by faces mutilated
ghastly and gross

in chains ..you made
us shoot humanity
as followers of hussain
