Are You So Afraid?

Are you so afraid?

Followers of the ancient scholars

to liberate Quran

from the bounds of interpretations past?

Will you guard it in their boxes

high on shelves

adorned, unopened?

Are you so afraid?

To share the wealth

of Revelation with untrained ears

that they might hear something

not yet perceived?

Are you so afraid?

Oh ye of little faith

Trust Allah, Our God

The Unseen, All-Seeing

Consciousness

Whose words still speak

to all who open their hearts

to all who open the box.
