to all ex muslims

My fellow ex muslims
those who are apostates
in their minds
while hiding,
their heart's words

My dear ex muslims
those constantly oppressed
by the seriousness in the eyes
of those around
go on, and set others free

My beloved ex muslims
those that are concealed
in bare sight
reveal your soul's true face
while anonymous,
while unknown

My constrained ex muslims
reveal the art
you so long have hid
to others and all around
so that we may see
a new age
of enlightenment
of reason

My distressed ex muslims
go out, and paint your colors
of rebellion, of freedom
from this theocracy
from this dictatorship

My worn out ex muslims
go out, and spread your wings
of revolution, so that others may feel
the passion of your bravery
to ignite their torches
as well

My oppressed ex muslims
do not hide any more
reveal your heart's true words
through unknown identities
across the internet
and every street
every public wall

My poisoned ex muslims
heal yourselves from this disease
one that has filled your lungs
with the stench of unwanted hate
and the smell of deadened corpses

My beloved ex muslims
let your voices be heard
across every street corner
on every website
in every online forum
in every blog
in every space
between every comment

Let us not die
with the pages of history
let us be heard
as those who desired
freedom,
once again

Let us not be erased
as those who have
been called mad
or blasphemous
and shout out loud
our poetry of purity

Let us not be conquered
by the hypocrisy
of totalitarian sheikhs
who spread their beliefs
through indirect force
upon others

Let us not die,
While the true voices
in our minds,
our hearts
not be released
from the top of
our lungs

Let us rebel
against those
who have
brainwashed
programmed
and twisted
our minds
to hate,
to be violent
to conquer
and to spread our beliefs
with force
and barbarism

Let us not be overruled
by those with long beards
by those who enforce
what's right, what's wrong
who tell us
what is moral, what is good
and let us not see, or embrace
the other side,
of the truth
of reality

Let us not be stepped on
by the complete terror
that they instill into us
day and night
out of the absolute fear of Allah
that has eliminated
our very ability
to live

Let us be heard
my oppressed
my fellow ex muslims
you who have been called possessed
or mad, for your talking
against this religion
that inspires only hate
and prohibits the very freedom
of art, and the unknown

Let us start this,
Let us once again
know what clarity
genuinely means
