Jack was proud.
Jack was absorbingly intelligent.
Jack was fiercely loyal.
Jack loved music, art,
eating good food with his family,
having more than one pint with his mates.
Oh, and he was devilish handsome

Khan was devilish
Khan absorbingly faithful
Khan was fiercely loyal
Khan hated music
the art of the devils,
not the art of allah
Khan loved halal
he knew of the jinn
those devils
tell him to kill
the infidels
the devils

The knife
Khans knife
Khans killing knife
cradles warmly in his
devilish hand
smooth like a surah
hot to touch
heat to the head
heat to his faith
in his head

I write so my words become a soothing light/
I write so I can enter the coldest of hearts/
I write so I can speak to those locked off/
From the world engulfed in the blinding absence of sight/
I write so I can express what I feel is right
