Eulogy

[Zaydism]

What is the value of a wound that quickly heals, if of its pain it does not bare tales?

Let the drops of blood that pour from the wounds be the ink which is used for the quill, that seeks to write a eulogy

Favorable it is to not tend to the blood soaked cut, but allow it to drip into the inkwell

Therein the quills tip will taste the bitter flavors that come from blood soaked in tears

Dried yellow parchment is all it needs, similar to the grim face of a depreciating body

as the blood continues to flow the quill continues to write its eulogy.

Eventually the wound and the whole body will cease to carry that which flowed through the veins and arteries

The heart will drum no more and there will lie a lifeless body with its blood soaked eulogy.
