Poetry 2


Pain

Anger inside hasnt faded
With time i thought it possible
Childhood still haunts me
my faith still inside of me
Cannot escape what has scarred me
Color of my skin still confuses me

cannot suppress this rage
Each bomb that drops increases it
Women, children, screams rings inside of me whilst i sleep
Cannot sleep
Hear the cries, then again
Now i see him
One legged man
No father, many children
Still they laugh, from the Joy of what i don't know
Their innocence blinds this reality

World

Te fleeting nature of this life has dawned upon me
With age i have understood the short time we have left

I tred trough this land with Joy i do not feel
Love is what i seek, the part of me what is not filled

Politics 

They say its for justice
For the greater good
They creat Mischief, yet speak of peace
Their speech eloquent while their hearts falter
They speak of peace, yet create war
Their hearts i do not believe
They are the liars, My Lord speaks the truth

Worship 

To worship is hard, Wood amongst steel
i easily crumble, flake, when scathed
Weak, Vulnerable
Temptation looms before me
To be like steel i try

Poetry 1


On the passers by

Here the call of the Muazzin
People deafened to its Magnificence
Cannot understands its purity
Cannot comprehend its meaning
Or do they ignore it?
In arrogance?
The glitter of the world they fall to, Whilst the callers cry rings on..

in reference to the masses who walk pass the caller of the prayer(Muazzin) in hordes.


To Struggle

Hard is this struggle
In a land that is diseased with the souls of ungodliness
Men who fear, cowards are many
For the one who worships his Lord there is no compromise

In reference to anyone who strives in a land who ultimately hold secular ideals as the primary goal for mankind


The normal muslim

They stare at me with glances of curiosity
You pray? I affirm
A smile stretches across their face
a stranger they have seen
While they carry on in their ignorant state

In reference to the many occasions when i was asked in astonishment "You pray?" As if the questioner was admitting his guilt ... i was angered often by this as i could see by the very question being asked that the worship of God by man was something of an exception .... an i never wanted to be the exception.


The traveller

Tired of this desire and lust that haunts me
Tired of its shackles and chains that embraces me
cannot overcome this affliction that has befallen me
Release me from this anguish, Lord of the heavens and the earth
For i cannot comprehend your magnificence
Glamour and delusions diverts me
Travelled to countries before uttered in bemusement
Into cultures of empires that have perished
but what am i running from
From myself. From my soul, my heart
from which there is no escape
