I am Allah—
Al-Rahman — ((Gracious, compassionate))
Al-Rahim — ((Merciful))
banished from
faith
and love
mourning—
beauty—
my Word—
censored—
I am mourning
my death—
The robe
of my Kaaba
stained with blood
of free speech
I have witnessed
Terror—
my sons beheaded
my daughters
deprived of light
I am Allah—
Beloved of
bards and prophets
Idol of rebels and Sufis
fleeing from
custodians
who desecrate
my house of
refuge
My body dismembered—
scattered over the woods—
I am seeking hearts
to take me in
They have stamped me
on their crown—
used me as cheap gold—
Bleeding
I wonder
if I will survive
Free me—
Free Allah
from despots
Free yourself
from fear
Let me live—
apostate infidel that I am—
At times like this—
with watan ((Homeland))
soaked in worshippers’ blood—
with faith soiled
and values sold—
which god do you worship?
