..................Behead me if you must
*@*
@@@@@@
the hijab of death
drapes swiftly over my
face, over my eyes, covers
my head, hides my tears, the
blue skies vanished, the sunsets
into darkness, vengeance's smile
(his breathing grows heavily so)
<it is dark, MOM-DAD, may this>
death restore your honor to this
forgive-less cruel world we live in
oh heaven above please let this be
a dream, let it be a dream, let me
wake up to mamma's big smiles
to the nagging voices of my
brothers and sisters to my
no, my eyelashes brush
against the cloth, I
feel the warmth of
my breath against
this hijab of Death
_/\_
I hear him
his squeal,
Allahu Akbar!
It's not a dream,
Jinn takes over him
I feel the ropes,
it's not a dream
tightly around me,
I feel the sting of his blade
I am no more, I am.
There's no
HopeThump!
To the ground I fell, these tears I cannot holdBehead me if you must, my Dearest friends.
But grant me these requests in return.
Let me hold your hand as the blade pierces my
flesh and bones.
For your hand must be the right hand of "Allah"
Remember me!Behead me if you must, my Dearest friends.
But grant me these requests in return.
Don't come to judge, to be jury, to be executioner,
you are none of those nor are you the giver of life.
As this gift of life flows out of me, the Earth beneath your feet is bleeding red.
Remember me!Behead me if you must, my Dearest friends.
But grant me these requests in return.
As my cold corpse lays still as if embracing the
Earth farewell.
Cradle my head one last time close to your chest,
like the way my mamma held me closed to her bosoms when I was an infant.
Remember me!Behead me if you must, my Dearest friends.
But grant me these requests in return.
When my head is in your hands, whisper in my ears
the lullabies.
Sing me, to the Eternal sleep with your angelic
voice as I see the final lights.
Remember me!Behead me if you must, my Dearest friends.
But grant me these requests in return.
I have not feet for it lies upon that bleeding dirt you
desecrated.
Give me pride hold my head high with both your
hands of judgement.
With your gentle touch carefully place my head close to my corpse.
Remember me!Behead me if you must, my Dearest friends.
But grant me these requests in return.
Hold my head high towards the endless blue summer skies.
As I bid the Eternal Sun my final farewell, feel that warmth of the Sun on my corpseless head.
I have not voice or breath for it lies upon these Hallow grounds.
Remember me!So with the final gestures of my lips as if in a whisper...
I say farewell;
to my Mother
to my Father
to sons
to daughters
to my sisters, my brothers
to my aunts, my uncles
to my families
to my friends
to birds and flying creatures
to goats and crawling things
Lastly to you my Dearest friends for your kind is the lowest on the pedestal of conscience's consciousness.Close my eyes for me with your gentle touch.
I cannot bare the sight of seeing you suffer.
Wipe away the blood and tears that dripped down my face. I have not my hands for it lies upon the blood soaked dirt.The tears my Dearest friends were meant for you.
When your deeds are finally done.
Know that it can never be undone.
Scream you into the winds of calamity.
"Allāhu Akbar"!Remember me!
It's not a dream...Oh! The lights!
The Sun Appears!...again, as I drift
into my spheres of consciousness.
I am.......
