 </div><p>Salam holds a glittering sword in his right<br>
And a well sharpened matchete in his left<br>
He cries for war in the nooks of every crannies<br>
Roaring on our streets and panting for blood<br>
With speeches decorated with tricks and cunnies<br>
Salam Alay’kum, Salam Alay’kum, I have seen peace cry for war.<br>
.<br>
Salam wears a scary mask of threat<br>
Feigning a smile behind a scary face<br>
Throwing the metro into pandemonium<br>
As cars jostle and run into one-and-other<br>
As they try to hide theirselves outside the dark vacuum of peace<br>
But, then came the kaboom of guns<br>
From the marveling rifle in Salaam’s hands<br>
I have heard men say,<br>
“Salam Alay’kum, Peace Be Unto You”<br>
But I have seen peace thirst for blood.<br>
.<br>
Salam errands for gods that suck blood<br>
His reward lies in the bleeding souls of men<br>
His delight is not in rams and goats<br>
But in the bleeding throats of man<br>
Presented to vultures in a dish of putrefying odour<br>
Upon a large expanse of blood thirsty land<br>
Salam professes peace with his mouth<br>
But hold a sword to our neck<br>
Salam Alay’kum! Tell Salam to keep his peace<br>
For we all hate peace with passion.</p>
