ALMAJNUUN

WORDS PASSED FROM ONE TO ANOTHER
IN THE PALACE OF THE GOOD STUDENT
HIS MEN WERE TALKING ONE SAID
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS I REMEMBER
MY FATHER TELLING ME ONCE
PEOPLE LIKE ALMAJNUUN NEVER DIE
ANOTHER SAID WASN'T ALMAJNUUN
ONE OF OUR LEADER'S MASTERS ?
A THIRD SAID YES HE TAUGHT HIM
BUT HE USED TO SPREAD HIS THOUGHT
BETWEEN THE LESSONS ...
THE GOOD STUDENT ENTERED WHEN
THEY SAW HIM THEY STOOD
THEY KEPT VERY QUIET ONE OF THEM
EVEN TRIED TO KILL A FLY ...
