on the Last Day
they will all be there
the Aztec and Inca
the Cherokee and Cree
the Englishmen and Spaniards
the Frenchmen and Portuguese
their story has already been told
flowing forth from and returning to
the Infinite Knowledge of God
historians state
that humans first came here
about 14,000 years ago
perhaps it was longer
it doesn’t really matter
the point is that
God was watching
and is still watching
the story of the Americas
who are the allies (awliyā’) of God?
and who are the allies of Satan?
we have neither the assurances nor the certainty
of Catholics or Protestants that trampled across these lands
we are more humble in our determinations
and leave their affair to God
the past is never past
it is the continual unfurling of God’s Decree
as Judgement looms closer and closer
on that Day
the tale will be told with perfect clarity
and Justice will reign
and Mercy will envelop
some will be brought high
and others reduced to the lowest of the low
and then
only then
will the story of the Americas
come to an end
لا إله إلا الله
A Mercy Case
