clinging to his mother
bravely into my eyes
he stares ..why are
you shooting us
he dares ..we did
not choose to be
beggars ..but you
your society made
us like this very
unfair cruelty
ignominy
humiliation
we bear ..
leftovers you
give us with our
family we share
you never passed
a fatwa for a jihad
against poverty
illiteracy because
you are scared
we will understand
your game plan
your sectarian
machinations
spiritual
warfare
to keep our
community
divided
broken fences
of trust faith
you will not
repair ..
we beg but
you within
the safety
of your
positions
became
millionaires
Allah is watching
your acts of omission
commission beware
the shadow of the
mullah hurriedly rushed
away for his juma
prayer ...
