Jinn or Genie?

Mythical Creature: Jinn

Origin: Arabia

The genie offers fame, fortune and wins

they are the commercialised version of Jinn.

The genie was created to serve and appease

granting their masters wishes in threes.

An ancient creature of the Arabian lands

the Jinn hides in plain sight in homes, along mountains and in sand.

Malevolent and mysterious; created from smokeless fire

a demonic spirit with dark desires.

One could be hiding inside your home

just waiting for that moment when you are alone.

The mysterious reflection you glimpsed through the mirror

that shapeless figure near your dresser.

When your skin crawls like a million small louse

there is a strong chance you have a Jinn in your house.

Misty shadows pacing your corridors

bursts of cold air from under the floor.

The Jinn will mess with your soul and your mind

your dreaming and reality will become intertwined.

Unlike the genie who grants happiness and wealth

the Jinn brings darkness; feeding off your mental health. ~ Fam Zsolti
