have you not read the Qur’an – القرآن الكريم…

each
brick
made from
water
clay
and
flesh
the flesh
of old men
raped women
and
generations of children
whose lives
are pressed
into a mold
of slavery
and
dried in fires
of baronial greed
and
all the while
well dressed
pakistanis roll-up
their prayer rugs
so that
they may
sip morning tea
while
watching
a sunrise
of wealth
