The Family of Saints, Chapter 2- Poem

Chapter 2-The Fate of Saints From the Blessed bloods of sacred follows, With Misery painted fire wrapped fates, Unripe wrongs that flourish over sacred laws And unseen tragedies written on traits. As Prayer filled carpets passed for ages, Harsh tricks hid within them for ages, Fallen prey was Reyhan's Raheem, to those, Where family's prestige hung from his nose. Lost by marriage, were two unwilling hearts, And witness was a father redeeming and helpless The Conspiracy that tore young hearts to parts, Leading innocent dreaming souls hopeless. Fate stole Raheem's wish for enduring love, Turning his remnant self towards Spiritual love; The Heartbreaking grieves, the known had written, Leaving shadows of sick heart forgotten. The celebrated tears shall for ever stay, Masked behind the endless smiles, For he was a part in the famous play, That sent him wandering far of miles. The writer's play had finished its part But the master shall finish none his part, For the traits follows the family of saints And he was the saint born within constraints. "Let him be the son, Let him be the Life, Let him bear the curse of wrong's done And embrace destiny's knife. Let the guilt of priests pray, Forgiveness from the eternal best, Let them hope a shining ray, As a remedy for their shameful quest." ©Anees Rahman
