Hieroglyphs on walls, sounds of nature

Artistic impressions revealing the story's nakedness

Sudden rush that turns on my bride,

The irresistible touch and vigor

Is worth my ink

Dates and unleavened bread

Jars full of wine, communally we drink

With music from the harp in sync,

I fly as the quill's tip comes to contact with ink

Before landing on the scroll.



Hammurabi must have sleep walked,

Slipped, fell and died on his ink

Stone tablets saved us from blindness

an eye for an eye; absolute madness.

Since Moses' shoes were not worth near holiness,

Barefoot I dwell in the mosque

Gently squeezing Tasbih beads in my heart,

Moving Himalayas from Nepal to Senegal

That's worth my ink.



How many Bin Ladens have they created

Despite claiming to have killed one

Again and again ask yourself

Can the world be a safe place?

With sons that can turn life to rubble

As the strapped clock tick-talks

The innocent souls to waste,

My word is worth the ink as i celebrate

Passing the tradition, generation to generation.
