THE HOLY KORAN: IMMORTAL IN THE MEMORY OF ITS PEOPLE

I just want to say this:

You can burn one
You can burn all
You can burn each and every single one
that has ever existed.

Wars will be waged
Countries burn for it
Copies will be bestsellers
Just for the sake of burning.

Burn it and it will be rewritten
And it will grow almost with no apparent effort
like tentacles of a creature
in your nightmare.

And even if you burn all the papers, parchments, fabrics
Destroy all connections to it
Eradicate all the symbols of its existence
It'll still be futile.

It is immortal
on the tongues
in the actions
in the minds
in the memory
of its people.

After a month's worth of the boss' abuse
Finally you found some time to put your brain to use
Find your muse, light your fuse
Dig up some some books
Take the phone off the hook
Instant dinner, load the printer
A quick check through the children's schoolbag
Supervise homework or they'll be the classroom's gag
Play some music
Pray nobody fall sick
Tuck the children early.

Honey, don't wait for me.
