'The Me'
'The Me'
(My New Poem)
My heart is Frida Kahlo
My vision Michelanglo
My mind is Socrates
My thoughts are Plato
I romance like Shakespeare
I react like Othello
In life I had so many wishes
I ate them with sweet dishes
I live in jungle of human beings
Have seen barbarity of the two legged animals
I was born in no man's land
Tried to seek asylum in Finland
They told me you don't have a country of origin
Who's knows you will come here and commit some sin
You are Muslim by birth, you can be a terrorist
You can be a rapist or fundamentalist
I looked up into the sky, tried to speak to the angels of God
There was nothing in the vast vacuum, the cosmos and beyond
Slowly I turned into water vapour, filled the universe layer by layer
There was nowhere the kingdom of God, only I was everywhere
