Poetic Justice At It's Finest

This writer wrote a beautiful piece, and I have fallen in love with the way he wrote it.

This artist goes by the name JustOneMan, and is also a new member to the underground poetry site I visit on a daily basis.

I love narrative poetry, and in this poem he did what any great poet should do. Capture the reader's mind, and place him in that story. I found myself in her shoes and felt the pain she must have felt in her tough situation.

I hope you all enjoy this read as much as I did, and hope you plan to follow him as well...

This poem was written by JustOneMan, and it is titled " It All ".

It All

I met a woman;
she was a Muslim.

She was forced to lie
at the age of six -
was forced to marry
the husband that beat her -
I thought of Muhammad.

She finally fled
to escape it all
and married an infidel -
a non-Muslim.

With a pure heart
she took to him:
helped ease his pain,
helped heal his liver,
helped raise his son -
I thought of Jesus.

Her father disowned her
for leaving the house
and for leaving Islam;
he told her she was
"dead" to him -
I thought of Muhammad.

The non-Muslim man
didn't know what he had;
took advantage of her
both body and soul -
he broke her heart.

She lived from her car
calling home each day;
asking her father
for forgiveness;
always in dua
with Allah.

He would take her back
on one condition:
she be a man's wife
as part of a family -
as part of a family
business transaction
to seal a deal:
A piece of property -
I thought of Muhammad.

She claims of it all -
"nothing to do with Islam" -
And that she wished
She were a better Muslim.
I thought of it all -
I though of Muhammad:

Who did allow:
the bartering of women;
death for apostasy;
the beating of women;
prepubescent sex.

I thought
of Muhammad
and his Islam:
he was a very
sick man.

Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
