Pine Nuts on the Floor (Poetic Rant)

Pine Nuts on the floor

Why you Muslims doing this?
Why you Muslims doing that?
You know your religion is backward
You know you hate women
You know that Jesus dies for you

Wait now...hold up... reverse
Why am I being demonized because
Others who share my faith are wigging out
Due to colonial brainwashing but you leave that out
Never seeing your contribution to the problem
Convinced yourselves you're the solution
Really.. is that so..
Let's go ask the Native Americans
Let's go ask the slaves that hung in trees
Lets go ask every indigenous peoples 
See if they speak Highly about you
Oh wait.. that was then... Oh really?
Has anyone made amends?
Righted any of the wrongs?
Just because you want to walk away
Doesn't mean the past is forgotten ok
Karma doesn't view history as you do
Research for a minute all that you have done
Holding the banner waving the cross
Then maybe you will see 
The deranged damage your people have done
Including never excluding the KKK 

Now back to the matter at hand
What's going on isn't nothing new
Started back in 1941
Escalating since then to now
How do you fight a colonial power?
Through terrorism
But until both sides come clean
Living this G.I. Joe cartoon dream
Nothing will be resolved
Hate will simply evolve
To the next generation
Morphing into another situation
Blood, guts, and no one wins

I hate to break it to you
We Muslims are not a monolith
Not some robotic hive mind
We're just like you
Over a billion people is a diverse group
So stop and think before you ask these questions
As if I should somehow know
How terrorist work 
Maybe you should just ask them
I'm on the same face as the planet as you
Wondering the same damn thing
How can people take something as beautiful as Islam
Turn it into an ugly nullification

How can people take something as beautiful as Islam
Turn it into an ugly nullification
