1400 years
truth
through
the layers of our blood sweat and tears
as a protest against spiritual terrorism
yazidiyat
peers
a voice
on the plains of karbala
the misguided forces of yazid
were not willing to hear
hussains head
decapitated
tilawate koran on a spear
who killed imam hussain ?
they ask
blinded eyes unclear
it was not the word of god
but yazid whom they feared
bombs suicide bombers
terrorism they condone
its our mourning
our scourgings
head cutting they find weird
a long kurta a short pajama
a chequered scarf covering the face
a long flowing beard
followers of rogue clerics
guntoting poster boys
the soul and saintliness of our faith
with their rabid hate of humanity
have smeared
allah ho akbar
god is great
now a war cry
highly revered
fatwas
jihad
reign sureme
humanity
tolerance
mutual co-existence
from hardened hearts
has disappeared
the values
for which the holy saints
had persevered
