Eid Haiku Poem by studentasim
Khadijah goes to School is a Resource. Order Now.
Khadijah goes to School issued a 9/11 Press Release last year on the eve of 9/11. The question is, WHY?
RELIGION makes us DIFFERENT,
Yet isn’t that OK?
The differences that we have,
Is what makes us PRAY.
Whether there is GOD,
Or whether YOU think there isn’t.
We have our BELIEFS,
The sun has still risen.
The MURDER of CIVILIANS
Can never be the MISSION.
My FAITH does not BLIND me,
Neither does my VISION…
