oh you bringer of glad tides
His most ultimate of prides
if all of creation couldn't lie
they'd all be puttin' ye high

oh you speaker of the truth
His all of messenger's roof
if none of words could give
the worths of how ye'd live

oh you the defined example
His divine very own sample
if guidance would be ample
what'll save us the trample

oh you saviour of mankind
His mercy on deaf 'n' blind
if we ignorant can't display
what's 'tween night 'n' day

oh you the light upon light
His avail with which ignite
if the darkness will prevail
what track wouldn't derail

oh you guide upon the path
His only way without scath
if the wrath is kept hidden
what door will be forbidden

oh you holder of the heavenly key
His knowledge 'n' secrets to ye be

so to get back at this sinner's plea
oh you would ye please rescue me

From all of the blanks
floatin' up in my mind
By knowledge indeed
i am but as blind

So without it to prevail
there is no understandin'
For a word just mere a word
when nothin' in the endin'

Tho to believe 'n' witness
firmly within my capabilities
Please would Ye make it one
of ibn Yusuf's accepted abilities

By flowin' through veins
'n' the ponderin' upon
The heart alone to beget
which thread to be on

Thy example of livin'
aswell as Thy deeds
Come to be the only things
that i will ever need
*

..assalaato assalaamo alayka ya Sayyidi...!


..salawaat'Ullahi wa salaamahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sahbihi...!


..revive thy consiousness
    'n'
       love always...

while listening to byzantine cantos: alī (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) / tabadul alshaya? / tabadul alshatayim?

there's but one hope -
there is but one civilised form
of islam, and
that is of the earliest schism -
why do i find
the shī ' ah version of islam
so benevolent?
                       so less barbaric?
i place my hopes in the *****
of iran -
            of all the islamic
nations: iran - the most
civil - the most welcoming -
esp. given its love for poetry,
and at least if not respectful...
the rest?
apology for the star wars
analogy...
  compared to the shī ' ah?
the sunnis represent
tusken raiders...
          hordes akin to
the family of khan...
       may all alliances
with islam exist within the realm
of mutual respect with
shī ' ah islam, and no other
form...
every time western commentary
cites islam,
  i find myself "castracted" -
then again, given a noble
tickle of the testicles...
                 to prompt a thought:
may shī ' ah be a common
ally to these sunni *tuskan raiders
;
these gloating, bloated,
gluttons and jabba the hutt-esque
princes and kings of saudi arabia...
for who hears of
       the iranian influx?
would such a proud people degrade
themselves, and abandon
their women?
               would they?
   if there be peace between our
people and the people of islam,
it can only exist within a solidarity
of claiming the long roman
handshake: where the arm nearing
the elbow is gripped, than mingling
hands toward suspicion of
      sign-language & braille...
yes, i have one respect:
   alī (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) -
and let muhammad find no rest...
                for he be, the weak one:
who once promised, retracted the promise,
and brought no guiding example...
and what is the staggering
difference of islam and other religions?
simply that, a schism came so early,
and took no debate,
but the heart & trust being betrayed,
may it rest as so:
   alī (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) -
what is the reverse?
    may he be cursed...
   múhāmmād (aīdtírāb as-salām) -
calamity be upon him -
and no, i'm no expert...
    but bear with me, i'm playing
the algorithm lottery of "hacking" google
with http://tinyurl.com/y7ljrqo3 / tabadul alshatayim.

— The End —
