strasbourg, regensburg, nurnberg, magdeburg, salzburg
spans across the old hapsburg
where walls have crumbled
and nations have rumbled
the architects of time
the scrouge of non-sovreignity
conventions of insolence
and intentions verily so diffused
divine interventions
and sincere invocations
will might but remind us
these are a test of kind
how we surpass the whims and fantasies
extreme tolerance over-shadowing extremities
the rise of demi-gods before us we see
are nothing but a testament of pure atrocities
when mecca is less than 2,600km away
further or nearer shall neither make us sway not wander astray
even as sworn enemies confer and allies conquer
it is a merely in intentions that we differ
young turks eager to please her
open the doors and lead them to nether
how are we to understand you brother?
when our mother, father + sister are with us no longer
here as i lie in shallow slumber
over lands of their forebearer
we give syukur to the all-seer,
all-hearer, all-knower. amiin
