If I had a servant,
I would command him to make my tea
and would sit in the shade and glory in the breeze.
If I had a servant,
she would keep the house clean
and my wife would have time to socialize with the other women of means.
If I had a servant,
he would carry my things to and from the madrasah,
leaving my hands empty for hugging and slapping at shoulders.
If I had a servant,
she would cook for us the most amazing meals,
which is more than my poor wife has ever done.
I thank Allah I do not have a servant,
For then I would be damned. And no servant,
no matter how loyal, is going to come and carry my soul out of hell.
