The Circle of Pain, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

shot by my daughter samiya

within the cemetery of my brain
within the crematorium of my heart humane
lies the cycle of eternal pain
ghame hussain
he gave his head but not his hand
he did not want to be a puppet
of yazidi reign
a war on principle
not of political profit or gain
karbala
weeping mound a bleeding plain
the fourth imam his feet in chain
ashura
how does one explain
through our blood sweat and tears
a protest of 1400 years against
terrorism of humanity
that was hussain
from one generation to the next
we sustain
allah ho akbar
rising as a phoenix
hussainiyat
our peace loving domain
