Moslem Rant

A Poem by Abdul Batin Osman Bey
"

Taqwacore

"

So yea I eat halal food

What’s it to you?

Yea I’m a punk rocker with long hair

Who plays loud thrashing riffs in the morning air

Bending, pounding strings on my B.C. Rich Warlock

While screaming out Psalms and Surahs

Damn Straight I’m a Moslem

Who cares if I use slang phrases?

Sunni, Or Shia?

I’m neither I’m a Moslem straight up and Direct

So get out of my face with your bullshit and let me live

Only Allah can judge me
