The Almuharam

There are twelve months in an year Yet the first month you have the prestige Of being number one of the months There twelve thrones of glory Yet one is exalted above all others To that one all the others bow to To that one who is exalted above the others To the one who sits upon the one exalted throne To that one will i pay obeiyance and worship To the one upon that throne i pledge my sword

I was trying to look at for the meaning of your title. Does it really mean "forbidden"? I love the last line

Its comes from the arabic word haram.. in swahili haramu, ..almuharamu means january has taken undue advantage over the other 11 months by being called the first month, yet all months are of equal stature.. and it goes deeper than that
