SPIRIT THAT REFUSE TO DIE
Silent prayers swallowed by fear
Behind cold walls and guarded gates
Voices crushed beneath heavy boots
Lives erased in whispered hate.
Families torn, dreams confined
Faith hunted like a fading flame
Eyes that plead for freedom’s light
Caught in endless pain.
The world watches, silent, still
As hope flickers, barely alive
But their spirit, though battered
Refuses ever to die.

Stones and Names
It is said that the black stone in Mecca
is not just a stone.
It is a shard of a vanished world,
an echo of a cry before words,
a sacred turmoil of being,
older than prayer,
older than the earth.
What if it had been different?
What if the name that echoes from Mecca
had been something else,
if the steps that are lost

Hymn to the Three Consorts of Allah
Hymn to the Three Consorts of Allah
O El-Lat, radiant in the moon’s gentle glow,
Your silver beams illuminate the night,
Guide lovers with your tender, soothing light,
In your embrace, true affections grow.
Guardian of secret trysts beneath the stars,
You witness vows whispered in the dark,
With every kiss, you leave a spark,
Blessing those who dare to love who they

Our Ancient Prophet
Our Ancient Prophet
In a city of steel and glass, where neon signs blaze bright,
Our prophet (PBUH) walks among the shadows of the night.
His eyes hold ancient wisdom, his steps a timeless grace,
He moves through crowds unnoticed, a relic out of place.
In alleys dark, he whispers truths that echo through the years,
His voice a soothing balm

A Tale of Greed and Redemption
A Tale of Greed and Redemption
His eyes, sharp as daggers, seek endless gain,
Never satisfied, his greed he must sustain.
Gold and silver shimmer in his fevered dream,
But in the quiet night, he hears a hollow scream.
He crucified Isa, now a stain in his wake,
Broke every bond, more gold he must take.
The sparkle in his eyes, dulled

The Sword of Islam
In the deserts of Arabia, Medina had many Hebrews
And Khaybar Oasis was full of farms run by Jews.
To this day Muslims shout Khaybar, defeating Jews hits a chord
Because Mohammed took both places by the power of the sword
After his death Muslim armies took more
Palestine, Syria, Turkey, and that just opened the door
Then they took parts

Because they hate
Paulo was Brazil’s most popular journalist, but the left did pursue
He told an American interviewer that the left there "hates you"
I found this a puzzle, I asked why, what did we do?
But hate has odd wellsprings, and I still have no clue.

There were school

You will see heaven and earth roll up as a scroll

You will wear white garments made of moonlight silk
You will taste

Voices Unheard: the Plight of Palestinians
Every sleepless night comes with that thought,
The itching feeling in my heart it has brought,
Where are the rest of them sleeping?,
Days without food, their hunger creeping.
My food and water feel like a choke,
My tears get stuck, my heart is broke,
The thought hits like a bomb in my head,

Anamchairde
I'm blessed to have anamchairde,
Guiding me with values so pure,
Islam they live and preach with grace,
In compassion, fairness, they set the pace.
Connected they are to ALLAH through prayer,
Inculcating Quran's teachings, they forever care.
Repentance is their way to shun sin,
No arrogance, just humility to win.
Others' rights they never forget,
Believing in mercy, they never fret.

What Faith
Jewish, Hindu, ,Catholic, C of E,
Muslim, Pagan, Sikh, which should I be.
If it's a matter of faith I don't really care,
It's whichever brings me comfort as I sit in my chair.
All of them aim to do nothing but good,
So I'll take a mixture and just live as I should.
