our pious crap
separation and discrimination
women and dogs not allowed
i wanna bruce lee their bullshit
which is mine too
karma
malcolm called it the chickens coming home to roost
why do people hate me
cuz i can be a big jerk
why don't people come to the mosque
cuz the trip hurts
no home at the mosque?
or is there no masjid at all
no temple
where Allah is not an idol
quran and hadith a teraphim
"pointing" to the true God
i've been there and i've been them
women at home!
islam as a religion
the religion
not a vehicle for divine consciousness
but self congratulation
and pain
my sins of today
push me to write
Thay says i should have the quality
of compassion
al rahman
my sins of yesterday should help me to do this
but my love and anger are mixed
and i want to punch the sky
and pray so hard we see God
and tear down the walls of our hearts
