Moorish FridayA Poem by Abdul Batin Osman Bey A description of what we do on the Holy Day Every Friday night I meet up with my Moorish brothers and sisters Over in forgotten Elm Wood At the abandoned first Church of Elmwood
We steal electricity from the surrounding houses We read beat style poetry to anarchistic jazz punk beats We have flux style sermons We pray individually We pray together standing shoulder to shoulder Being lead in our prayers by a multicolored hair lesbian We sing our songs of liberation and freedom We dance in nomadic Sufi styles Whether rain, cloud, snow or clear We gather every Friday Thanking the Great Parent for the life we enjoy
