Filthy Breed
Grime grows coverage for
a shallow conscience, in turn
birthing a perturbed presence.
Mouth, once full of
the brightest sayings, vomits
desires something you nor I
could ever dream of.
Ivy sprouts from this
fertile soil, promising a
censure of exile.
Seconds will become
years, and years to
decomposition.
Smooth teeth number
their days, and the ivy
pierces pimpled skin.
Fungus promises to
swallow the brain whole.
And yet, naught can convert
such a being to redeemed Good –
how could anything, when one
dances with Iblis and
smashes on the Love of Allah?
