THE
PLAINS OF KERBALA POEM
at NEW SHMOOS FOR SHMOTA WEBSITE
The Plains of Kerbala
Tall dark shadows soldiers walk by
another boy screams his mother has died
the army still kills while the scholars still sigh
as I walk through the plains they call kerbala
The Shrine of the Imam remembers the past
Calling an Azaan that nothing here lasts
History repeats itself almost as fast
as I walk through the plains they call kerbala
When will they learn respect for a man
those invaders from darkness who march over our sands
but they never can take this sanctified land
as I walk through the plains they call kerbala
ignorance calling "fighting will cease"
but thats an ideal not a release
come take my oil but you'll never find peace
as I walk through the plains they call kerbala
Joseph A McTaggart
