Piety Poem by Freeyad Ibrahim

by Freeyad Ibrahim

When Ahmed, the father heard the story
he went mad,
his son had made love with a blond girl,
illegally
unlawfully,
haram,
but later and after reconsidering
he changed his mind,
called his sinner-son to his own chamber
and addressed him in this way:
Good, Well done my kid,
this time..
what you have done is much more piety
than adultery.
This time, your amorous adventure
with the god's servant of the church
was a sort of invasion,
holly invasion,
blessed intervention!
