A Poem For The Holy Season by Aloofaa(m): 10:15am On Oct 09, 2007
Holy Starvation

Veiled faces and turbaned heads
Bleat babbly with choral zest
Miffed, the rude sun unleashes a hellish spell
On ‘llah’s children, his subjects
We are fasting!

Muffled voices of hunger-biting bellies
Belch noiselessly in sulky complaints
‘llah’s messages roarly rendered
by the one with the beardal bloom
We are fasting!

Says he, “One full month of pious submission
libidinous leisure henceforth ceased
till lunar notice.”
We are fasting!

The moon shall soon be full, to ordained capacity
then men, foolish men,
shall resume routine madness
We are foolish!
