Surah Naba



Surah Naba is beautiful. In reading this chapter I feel a mixture of gratitude and amazement  - all power belongs to Him.

78:8
And We created you in pairs
78:9
And made your sleep [a means for] rest
78:10
And made the night as clothing

Glass Mind

transparent and caught
within my mind 
human livestock graze
they know not better
and I know not at all
they sow for fruitful
destruction.
I am vulnerable to their steps
they drown my cries
all throughout the night
the foghorn sounds
it tapes me down
to the sinkhole
of despair.

Breakthrough

I float midway and sit
in obedience
to the ever-longing screw-with-yer-mind
-ers
they cannibalize,
stuff down,
yer vital bits.
treat you like pic n mix.
you are 'living' in an air-balloon, so mediocre
through sheets of plastic hastily painted magenta
hot air is puked in every direction.


- By Laila Ali Haid
