Karbala — version 1

Islamic

(Draft of a second poem)

In every place and time there lies a blood stained land
Where people die with martyr´s blood which stains the yellow sand

Perhaps a place within our minds which kills all false ideas
But with it love and peace are pushed to fall and disappear
like Hussain on the battlefield or Hasan´s poisoned cup
we seem to live history anew by thoughts which do corrupt

Silently we think our thoughts from places dark inside
which reaps a battle outwardly which never does subside
and then we mourn as saints the men whose blood they left behind
not knowing we ourselves did kill by our false thoughts in mind
