This Ramadan....
Asma Anjum Khan, ummid.com
Take your pick
Choose carefully
Whatever you choose is red indeed
Scarlet Syrian fields are sizzling embers
Each sparkle sending the Ummah party sour
Would thou say cheers to Tayyip?
Or join the Sickulars for an iftar?
All this while, amid the groans of the drones
The poor Afghans mumble little prayers
The one who said Anaa Ibn e Firoun
Came back riding within a year
Mursi or Mubarak, the choice is bloodied.
Whatever you choose is red indeed.
The Iraqi cheeks have tears as thick as their oil
We hear an eternal moaning saga on Palestinian soil
The Bay of Guantanamo has special Tube iftars
55 plus days of fasting, unbroken remains their fast
The Rohingyas spark but a little anger
Compare it only to the sitting Somalian hunger
In Pak you have Shia dates and Sunni dates
Your pick will decide your fate
Indies are unique, no ear to their commotion
In a demo- crazy way they make the forty percent of Prison Population
We kill and they kill
The blood remains red still
This Ramadan,
Spare a thought
For all the red
Pause, think and reflect
Whatever you choose should NOT be red indeed
