Namaz Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Namaz

A Muslim with belief
-is mostly strict
-to pray daily five
-at dawn one,
-then noon and afternoon
-with one for evening
-Then-after a late night

Though Arabs say; Sala
-meaning call
-most of the non-Arabs
-use an Old-Persian-word
-say: Namaz

The young Kurd of Turkey
-a Sunni
-went for public prayer
-for Sabbath of Muslims; Friday
-which they call it jumea

He came back surprised
-explained what observed
-he had seen praying different
-they beat on their chests and…
-he told me I recalled
-other day and Farhad

Like other religions Islam too
-is seen wide different with divides
-at start there are two, the Sunnis and Shiites
-and then each is parted, divided
-do not know how many…
-but to me who lives with all of them
-it sure is not very strange
-Christians possibly have reached or
-soon will, some seven hundred

His look, act, behaviour made me think
-life is tough when light comes
-through a single hole or slot
-nearest examples are ISIS, Taliban…
