Pages from "As I Burn Babylon" - Issue #2 in the Lighthouse Chronicles Series
This is the first installment for issue #2 of The Lighthouse Chronicles Series. In issue #1, Love By Lamplight , I shared some of my poetic works on love; both of others and of self. In this series I will compile some poems I have written while taking a deep look at culture, religion and the many victims who have found themselves suffocating underneath the weight of a forced doctrine; I know I am one of them.
Illustrated by the talented Laourde, the poetry I have written over the last 16 years chronicles my own journey as an LGBTQ+ person who has been faced with church camps, exorcisms, conversion therapy and more, all at the hands of a scripture that bellows of love and acceptance.
Thanks for your support in this endeavor and i’m excited to continue creating this series!
*This sample at issue #2’s comic book pages is usually held for paid subscribers only. I am providing this as a one time glimpse at what is to come. Any future poetry comic book pages will be released behind the pay wall.
Poetry written by Munira Mona Morsy

As I Burn Babylon, the second issue in my “illustrated poetry” series, will be in print later this year.
