Between Anarchism and Islam


[CW: Islamophobia, CSA]


One thousand worlds in one world?   
Do you live by what you believe?   
Another world is possible?  
Do you live by what you believe?   
Every people can be saved?   
Do you live by what you believe?   

I do not think you astray, I meet you half way,     
you meet me with bigotry and without delay...   
I am consigned to two boxes.  
One reads Anarchist.  
One reads Muslim.  

My loliness is boundless I cry at source of my madness.   
Your lies about Aisha conjure up,  
things that cannot be unseen.   
Not could have been...   

They attack me with vile tropes,  
from the left and from the right,  
from the top and from the bottom,  
from The New Yorker and The Commoner.  

But the straight path is open before me,  
like the best of the Qu'ran,  
like the hidden of the Qu'ran if   
Most Gracious Most Merciful  
wills to increase me in knowledge.
