from a collection by me entitled "Erudite Lessons in Rhyme"
Al Zawahiri and bin Laden
Smiles adorn their dust blown faces
Exiled from the House of Saud and driven from Khartoum at paces
Come to rest where they know best and where their doctrines cannot falter
Cleansing tainted love
Authentic as the High Priest at the altar
Muslim genocide unravelled from the Balkans to Algiers
Christian Serbs, the French, the British, stooge incumbents shed no tears
Egypt kowtows at Camp David, Kashmir is a UK illness
Israel is theft in progress
Jihad breaks the desert stillness
Persian oil wealth amplifies how Pakistan just isn’t working
Post-colonial secular Islam stinks of governmental shirking
Lashkar--e-Toebi have an answer for the wayward masses
Other stories are unfolding west through Khyber’s mountain passes
Communists, who rule by proxy, suffocate Kabul for years
Likewise in Uzbekistan where Karimov mows down his peers
Kurds rebel for sovereign status. Turkic and Tajik’s alike
Further east, in Singapore, Khalim bin Jaffar takes the mic'
Yemen unifies but later civil war becomes the present
Ahmadinejad excites at building up a Shia crescent
Hamas stands in Palestine while Hezbollah joins in and fights
Damascus doesn’t bat an eyelid. It wants back the Golan heights
Indonesians flock to Peshawar eager to become “the martyr”
Motivated by the democratic outbreak in Jakarta
Emiratis and Cairoans curse the high-rise urban spaces
Concepts dear to muslims beget puzzlement on western faces
Banna’s Muslim Brotherhood looks quite naïve in ‘56
It’s modern day successor ditches name calling for stones and sticks
The MAK, the IMU, GSPC. So many causes
All across Arabia are fighters bound by local clauses
Yemen, Jordan, Syria Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iran,
The fallen Balkan states of Yugoslavia, Uzbekistan,
The Chechyan rebels, Georgia, all the coast states of the Caspian Sea
The 9/11 pilot-breeding eastern isles of UAE
The Red Sea west coast
Not just Egypt and Sudan but Eritrea
Mogadishu’s Council Of Islamic Courts exacting fear
Ethiopia fights Somalia. Further north the British bases
Infect and contaminate The Land Of The Two Holy Places
Many thousands pass through Khaldan, preaching the Qur’an’s Sword Verses
Jihadi’s who hatch a plan sit frowning at their empty purses
Way behind the frontlines lurk the men with training and finances
Venomous evokers of dark impulses and many chances
Western states respond in kind
The Afghan skyline’s sapphire blues
Are darkened with a droning mass of Chinooks and B-52’s
And Khaldan camp and Al Farooq are blown back into desert sand
Thus burnishing eternally a pan-global Al Qaeda brand
The legacy of Khaldan is a shadow that is falling long
We thought bin Laden ran an orchestrated set
But we were wrong
Al Qaeda is a currency
Al Qaeda is a sense of worth
To energize fragmented hoards of angry men all over earth
It’s not a group
It’s not a man
It isn't based on want or hate
It's not about revenge
It is a higher pure exalted state
The Arab-Afghan bases are now yesterday
What comes is stronger
All the tunnels that we thought we faced are twisted, darker, longer
Al Zawahiri and bin Laden
Smiles adorn their dust blown faces
Allahu Akbar
God is great
The Hijra is reversed at paces
Common enemies are found
Revive the Umma
It’s your duty
How God's love is sweeter than the spice islands of eastern beauty!
