Cease the Suffering

by ADEMINU

You say it again and again, you do it again and again—angels writhing in pain as you tear their

skin apart, and you claim it's their inner demons.

Women, men, children— all left without wings, drowning in teary tears and gut-wrenching

screams. They plead, you laugh; they retaliate, you cry.

You're a black hole, snuffing out their light.

You're a dagger, plunging into their homes and souls.

You're a wolf, hungry for their blood, ripping it apart with your teeth like dropping bombs.

All they have left is a final prayer, a second's worth, while you shred even that.

You're a pure, empty soul with no vacancy.

May Allah's curse be upon you!
