Lynching Poem by Abu Siddik

Lynching



Eid Mubarak, friends,
Say your Eid prayer at home,
We turn your prayer fields into cow sheds

And hear,
Don't dare to wear a skull cap,
Our boys will smash your head to the ground

Don't put on a lungi either,
Our good boys will deliver instant justice,
They will cut your genitals and throw them into the gutters

Ask your women and girls not to wear hijab,
Our boys will tear it apart and rape them before your eyes

Don't deal in cattle,
Our boys will lynch you in daylight
