disrupted

sought to justify their power
in an argument
their rule to be accepted
as an expression of will

but, my God
this propaganda,
others will contend
man has free-will to control

this defiance
refuses to obey
those rulers of destiny
take away the cause

seeking now
to hide clarification
a practical stand
against dangerous ideas

defying the sun
to leave aside obedience
a triumphant dead
awaiting five pillars:

*there is no god but the one God
*enticing five prayers of purification
*the spiritualized will share His wealth
*and less feast upon the mouth of God
*a pilgrimage for the sacrificed

the true prophet*
enlightened understanding*
loving the uncommon man*
a hearty shrine to all*
kissing black stones*

beating their breasts
and weep for the slain
the enemy battlefield
conquered innocence

a dawn of passion
suffers
of a martyred few
and a murdered many

disrupted a culture
resurging for politics
to dominate
those Western ideas

a modern superiority
to reform clarity
witnessed in the death
of no God

the true teachings
bleeding upon vengeance
lost in the will
of arguments

I like this. I had to read it several times. I still don't know if I understand all of it, but there is a lot of this I can really relate to.  I've had a lot of the same feelings lately.  Thanks for a good one.

this is really, really good. it does feel like people are missing the point of their own doctrine, sometimes, doesn't it?
great writing here.
i want more!
