Shed That Stink

Shed that Stink by Fazeel Chauhan

Be Hear Now Feel your Pulse Get your Heart to beat In sync with the music of this Moment Where your Feet are Loosen up Let go of the baggage of the past Bury that shit In the earth So you get grounded And that stuff becomes fertilizer Stops stinking And blooms Into flowers and Fruits Related to what Rumi said: Let your heart be where your feet are. As explained by professor Omid Safi

Where Have You Brought Me

Where Have You Brought Me
 
 

Your heart was a mirage of the holy grail where you brought me
Now six years of marriage is a shady jail where you brought me

To be free to say what I feel against propaganda
Is a 9.9 on the Richter scale where you brought me

I even became a minister just to get your attention Daddy
But in your eyes I always fail where you brought me

Twenty years of citizenship soaked in the melting pot
And still not accepted as an all American male where you brought me

The light's intensity stops me from being just a jerk on the bus
Too many awards have made me stale where you brought me

Non-Muslim women tie a shirt 'round their waist now cover their buns
The nuns are threatened by my sister's veil where you brought me

World Trade Organizations like Enron plunder common folk
CNN's truth is, Fazeel, on auction sale where you brought me
