Our laws are different from other laws.
Our religion is like no other.
It is different from the seventy-two sects.
We are guided by different signs,
In this world an hereafter.
Without cleansing of visible waters,
without any movement of hands, feet, or head-
we worship
Whether at the Kaaba, in the mosque, or in ritual prayer,
everyone carries their own disease.
Which labels refer to whom, no one really knows.
Tomorrow it will be clear who abandoned thereligion.
Yunus, renew your soul, be remembered as a friend,
Know this power. Listen with the ears of love.

Some external links: The Bat’s Poetry Cave. — Fledermaus’s poetry site. Talking Writing Monster. — the irreverent and irrelevant chatter on subjects both serious and not quite. A free for all board. You can scribble anything on it without registration (but it doesn’t let spammers in). You can even post your poems. Qwant.com. — a search engine from France. It’s an alternative because there are a few alternatives, like Bing, Duckduckgo, and Ecosia. And there is Yandex, the ultimate language-oriented search engine for the Russophone world. Commercial Links: Russian Commerce – the foreign trade assistance agency Other links: Poems and poetry in Russian (if you are reading this in English, as you obviously are, then you’d have to switch the language, the language switch is on the menu.
