We are muslims and we are sorry
For all the killings done by us, which are like a lorry
Forced on your chests
And shooting those at your fests
We are sorry for the Orlando club shooting at night
Thinking of which gives a terrible fright
Sorry for shooting at London too
Killing exactly twenty two
Sorry for stabbing the two in endeavour hill
By a young muslim who was ready to kill
Sorry for killing 137 in Paris
We also think their work was devilish
But who will say sorry to us
Which are not discussed
Who will apologise to the newly married couple
Who never thought they would be in such a trouble
They are removed from the world forever
They were Dia and Yusor
Who will apologise to the bright little boy?
Who was at an age to play with toy
He is removed from the world forever
He was Mucad Ibrahim
Who will apologise to a kid in high school?
Who always abided by all the rules
He is removed from the world forever
He was Sayyad Milne
Anyone ready to apologise?
Honest, heavy and powerful thoughts. So much death and murder. In the name of religion. People kill. We need forgiveness, healing and the stopping of murder. Thank you Sarah for sharing the amazing words and thoughts.

It takes a lot of courage to accept one's own fault and apologize.
