I wrote this over a year ago, I was pretty down on that day, mainly because of the state of affairs of the Ummah. But the poem has a change of attitude towards the end, inspired from the following Ayah:
“So indeed with hardship there is ease, verily after hardship there is ease.” (94:5-6)
I am not much of poet, in fact I’m far from it! If you understand it, then you’ll know the feeling. If you don’t then, urm well you don’t…
The Tides of Time
The battle of the riches and hegemony,
Continue to rage with unabated ferocity.
Despondence and despair are the states of mind,
Sadness and anger are the emotions one finds.
We are the shards of a shattered community,
Trying to bring the pieces back into unity,
The mind behind the hands are being gashed,
Every attempt made, away it is washed…
… By those whom affirm loyalty by the tongue,
Yet the Voices of Inspiration they have strung.
Deeper into darkness the community spears,
The external parties continue to prey on their fears,
But the community will stand firm with Belief, [Insha'Allah]
In the One Who Sees all suffering and grief,
For they know that after every suffering and trial,
Exists a reward, lightening sad faces with a smile.
increase the unity in the Ummah. Ameen.
