No Scones

No Scones

A Poem by Abdul Batin Osman Bey
"

Have I over come the obstacles or have I just become one?

"

Parasites drove nails in

Removed my pigment

Left me in a distant place

Far from home

 

I no longer look like myself

My brothers recognize me not

I am distant

History has veiled us

 

I pray to my God

He answers

Not as I wish but what is beneficial

 

Reborn

Grafted in

Place back to the place I started

 

Parasites drove the nails in

Angels took the nails out

Am I free?
