They'll Never Understand

They'll never understand you Sayyidi
You and them
Are like oil and water
You speak Jupiter
And they Mars
You're all Ahkirah
They reek of Dunya.

When you're too hard
They call you a tyrant
Too soft
They say you're unprofessional
Or worse,
you've lost it.

People of materialism
Can only see that which is in front of them.
Can only calculate what they see:
The geometry of imagination.
And what you're talking about
Is, as you say,
Beyond geometry
Beyond time space.

You can lead a horse to water but...
Don't cast pearls at...

Our history is full of these moments

But what you really taught us through all this
Is to forgive and love and forget
To make our hearts the size of the universe.

And this is finally,

The teaching

That makes us

The most happy!
