(as Martin Luther King Jr. said: Hate can not take out hate... darkness can not take out darkness, only light can do that)
You hated my nation, so your country I didn’t like
You said my homeland was not sacred, so your barren territory
I didn’t like
You stoned us, calling us infidels, so your idols I didn’t
like
You remained ignorant of my mountains, so your desert dunes
I didn’t like
You laughed at my country’s passport, so your elitist nationality
I don’t like
You paid me low wages based on my race, so your employment
apartheid I don’t like
You never appreciated the fruit of my Indus soil, so your
sand land I don’t like
You lied that I’m Hindu, so your subjective religion I don’t
like
You force the women to hide so kids get molested, your
deviant sexuality I don’t like
You made me beg to not void my visa, your exclusive citizenship
I don’t like
You say you own the two holy cities, your puppet kingdom I
don’t like
You pretend to the world as if you’re holy, your unholy beliefs
I don’t like
You fund gullible extremists around the world, your fanatic
dogma I don’t like
You claim your tribe is divine, your thuggish theocracy I
don’t like
You act like my people are your slaves, your archaic fiefdom
I don’t like
You prostate at the feet of white skins, your shattered
moral compass I don’t like
You wish to imprison my heart and soul, your twisted
shariatic laws I don’t like
You use religion to hold me hostage, your gangster mentality
I don’t like
You want followers to kill for your fatwas, your mass
manipulation I don’t like
You claim only your sect is legit, your fundamentalist patriarchy
I don’t like
You tell me to shut my mouth and thoughts, your form of enlightenment
I don’t like
You use fear of retribution to terrorize our souls, your
godly wrath I don’t like
You kill any rival at will, your justice of mass executions
I don’t like
You lack the power to hear scrutiny, your inferiority
complex I don’t like
You drench yourself in gold from head to toe, your
self-aggrandizement agenda I don’t like
You think we are pee-ons and subhuman, your self-proclaimed
royalty I don’t like
You demand my blind faith in you, your cult of mind control
I don’t like
You can’t tolerate any voice of dissent, your pigheaded
arrogance I don’t like
You built a clock high-rise to overshadow the Kaaba, your
tower-envy I don’t like
You sear every mosque and sajda with your footprint, your spiritual
mutilation I don’t like
You obey as a willful american slave, your sense of freedom
I don’t like
You waste billions on yachts and palaces, your black gold
oil companies I don’t like
You segregate men and women into silos, your one-eyed
godheads I don’t like
You were installed as fake kings by the Brits, your sham monarchy
I don’t like
You stockpile weapons to bomb fellow Muslims, your
anti-Ummah psychology I don’t like
You wage war on the poor of Yemen, your misguided jihadi’s I
don’t like
You preach that all Saudi’s are holy, your White Supremacy
agenda I don’t like
You flex your power upon the weak, your perpetuating the American
empire I don’t like
You worship the dollar as your number one god, your
corrupted faith I don’t like
You will never be my leader, your feudal oil cartels I don’t
like
You feel superior to hate me, I don’t copy what I don’t like

poetically are not meant to stereotype a group of people, but instead this is using
a critical (CRT) lens to examine the policies made by those in power. In
summary, when I was the target of injustices, I did not like it, and decided to
not copy those harmful behaviors and instead learned to empathize with
exploited peoples)
