In the midst of chaos

The Tried

Posted by: mousematrix on: February 11, 2009

i know islam teaches you to be social and forbid trouble
there is reason on eid to hug another brother
but what happens when your brother stabs you in the back
it hurts like a mother
but what happens when your brother stabs you in the back
you confuse social with islam,its the wisdom i lack
rejoice on drug therapy and blasphemy, the disease of crack
same old western tools, to keep you sane, in the bag

Follow islam or its followers, you lose the sight
disheartened by your brothers, you indulge into the pleasures of limelight
rebel against your beliefs, subliminal disobedience
Cant muster the courage to seek Allah’s Forgiveness
The devil arguing that you have come too far
how would you just go to the mosque and face God

In search of new friend to remove the spite
but you turned away from the light
the truth which beholds in islam and you never fight
with your own psychological urges and you never tried
the methods of the rusool the one and only
but its not too late to go in sajood and heal your folly

very good poem and reflects the reality we muslims living in the world with one foot in western culture and one foot in eastern culture. How do we reconcile both?
very well put !
