ASHES

Dear, Allah

I am tired of this world

I want to bask in the glory of your power

I want to look into your eyes and feel alive

I want to sing you songs of praise

I want peace in my heart

I want you to accept me

Dear, Allah

I am tired of this world

Let the evil people burn

Let me be their fire

Let me fill the air with my smoke

Let me kill the ones who don't believe

Let me show them what an angry God you can be

Dear, Allah

I am tired of this world

I will blow it up

I will make them shout with terror

I will take away their souls

I will see your will be done

I will kill and die to see you up in paradise

Hello, America

Your satanic ways will end

Now prepare to be burned

You will suffer pains unknown

For I am strapped with bombs

I am soldier of the Righteous

And you...

               you are ashes

Told you I'd be back and DAMN... I come back to some straight fire!

Takes a lot of guts to write a poem that both educates the reader and pokes fun at stereotypical thoughts of the modern, ignorant mind. I loved this piece. Loved the aggression. Love the style.

Write on.

Thanks...glad you understand, this poem could be easily misunderstood

The world through the eyes of a child taught to hate. Strange how men espousing the glory and love of God direct children to hate others for their place of birth, gender, religion, and nationality and then to injure, maim, and kill indiscriminately both the righteous AND the innocent.

[EMMIE]

And that is the truth! Thank you!

as a muslim. an an arab one who has read alot about Islam. and Quran is in my own tongue, let me tell you, i didnt like the meanings you have expressed here. look how the words are similar..Islam and salam (peace). as muslims, we dont greet others with hi or hello. we greet others with assalamu alikom(peace be upon you). islam is the message of peace. if Allah wanted all people to be muslims He could do it. first muslims had the power to kill nonmuslims in muslim countries but they have never done it. i can understand your anger from the united states politics but what is the guilty of the American people?

I think you are totally not understanding the message here. These are not my own thoughts and opinions. I had a conversation with another brother of Islam on here, but somehow it is not showing up. I don't understand what you are trying to ask either. With this poem I am portraying the stereotype. Again...this is not from a personal perspective. These are the thoughts and mindset of someone who does things like that, someone who has been brainwashed. This is not my voice. This is the voice of the person who is about to commit a hideous crime. Islam is a religion of peace and love, but the media portrays Islam as a violent and hateful religion because of ignorant people who take the teachings and twist their meanings, kill innocents, kill in the name of God. I am imagining what goes through the mind of a person who is about to kill himself/herself and others. This is what you see in the media. All they do is show you the violence and hatred, they don't show you the Muslims who are for peace, who do positive things, who strive for education and success, who are against war. All we see is how the word "terrorist" is associated with Islam. This poem portrays that stereotype. I am giving a voice to the thoughts of the stereotype.
