She, Allah

The unequivocal human
Speaks but does not listen
Comments but does not understand
The destitute integral man
Spends but does not produce
Uses but do not give
Laughs without laughter
These men are the brethren
Of our human desire
The father of our lustful
Spite of dignity
The son and progeny
Of our mistakes forgotten
Three divine does not constitute
Punishment for our wicked ways
To think so would be arrogant
Neither does She let you escape
Consequence
The fact of nature, life and
The ethers
Not console Her divinity
Would rule you inhumane
Making you a blind heathen
Whose definite cause was parasitical
Make you a threat to the rest
Of nature
Disabled, unable are thee
Such a blemish, reputation
In history
Wiped clean from
Light:
Light that has given you
And that will take you
Let it be warned
You avaricious, unsatisified
Demagagous carry-ons
Will, has, and can be
Retributed with and by
Her Name
Allah.
The Lord above is our
Air that we abuse
Water that we fill with refuse
Light that we block
Heart that we ignore
Mind that we molest
Body that we detest
Soul that we leave
Word that we deceive
Philosophy that we degrade
Reason that we under grade
Hands that we dehumanize
Brothers that we demonize
Forgive us Lord.
