RealizationA Poem by Akib
I stumbled upon a dream,
Left awake in the middle of night With fear in my bone, And only darkness in my sight Deep inside my heart I heard a whisper clear, What am I taking When I'm done here? I thought I had such a life Full of worldly glow But then I realized The dead emptiness below. What am I doing? And what is my purpose? And what will happen When life pass off. See, there isn't much to us, We are just puppets in the world And the world is not forever And life's too short for lust; So why do we keep fighting And cursing our own kind, When our only purpose in life Is to serve and praise The Divine. I see blood of innocence spilling, Over screams and cries of fear. And Father burying his son; Mother's eyes in tear. Then there's alcohol pouring, And the devils dancing naked. They can't see death smiling Waiting over their cascade. Their eyes so covered with greed Blinded by world's shine; Sad it is, they fail to see Peace lies in Allah's shrine. © 2016 Akib |
