An Etymology for Dialogue

 
 

Our lands have been violated by unspeakable acts 

We have gone too far, it’s too late to retract 

the blood that has spilled, the lives that have passed

we are being played in a theatre of a despicable farce

We must forbid division to enter our heart

Our leaders have turned lies into art

We fast the same month, we worship one God

Do you not find this cannibalism particularly odd

The agenda to dismantle is aimed at our deen

We must be more than pawns to be played in this scene
