Naked PrayerA Chapter by Abdul Batin Osman Beyhow I see the world through outlaw eyesDirty people with dirty minds Make me cringe in ten-thirds time Until I conclude We’re just the same Black magic on a funeral pyre Mock your mistakes yourself No ones afraid to look at the sky Madonna carved in dung makes people riot We’re all on the outside looking in Trying to find hope in the rain When we feel the sun we leap back Church bells feel like a heart attack Open fields watch a closed brain Calm down everyone’s insane Don’t be alarmed about the cats tongue The war is over no one has won Wash yourself clean shave off the rust One second the universe will turn to dust Have you ever gazed at a New England sigh? Know this the weather man isn’t the only one who lies Some people accuse me of being moralistic I tell them they’re just being unrealistic All I want is to be free Lesson learned you pay a hefty price for being I or me I must lay down rest my head Straw and needles make a comfortable bed If you want to understand a crucifixion Go back to school become a mathematician The curtain falls I don’t care © 2013 Abdul Batin Osman BeyReviews
