In Memory of Sheik Yassin

In Memory of Sheik Yassin and all others who have fed our souls and died for the offering.

How many spiritual leaders must be annihilated,
Before they realize God will keep sending them?

The truth ignored
Does not make the truth
A lie.

The truth squashed
Does not make the truth
Die.

The truth is
the truth.

The spirit lives on.

Holy water
Cannot be polluted

Perfect wind
Only feeds
The burning bush.
