maatam


maatam

as my hand
strikes
my chest
the grief is
finally expressed

for what happened
in Karbala
hundreds
of years ago
still makes me
weep

but for you

fanatic! 
H
extremist! 
h
terrorist!

why does
my grief
have to be
answerable?

my maatam
is mine

it's
     for
          me,
                not
        for
you.
