Turning the Tide to Shadow the Mind

Comes the waft of a radical gusty wind

Blowing across the Arabian Sea

Turning the tide to shadow the mind

Swaying the sails of trust into a chaotic grind

Rocking pious practices from its chartered course

Comes the waft of a radical gusty wind

Surfacing the ripples underlying a faith defined

The flow of sermonic current changes direction

Turning the tide to shadow the mind

Shaking the roots of belief to a forsaken kind

Bending the pillars of ancestral teaching

Comes the waft of a radical gusty wind

Floating sermons smearing truth like a rind

The waves of conviction are swirled from within

Turning the tide to shadow the mind

Raising discourse till divine confidence goes blind

Fanning fundamentalist fervor for covering women

Comes the waft of a radical gusty wind

Turning the tide to shadow the mind
