Dead or Alive?

What have I done? And damned this mentality,
Back then, a hell's curse poured out of my hands,
I promised to drop her off at the nearest park,
Father is wonderful or that is what she thought,
Until I excavated my entire soul and buried hers',
Crying silently with a faint but noticeable smile,
Rubbing the grains of sand off my chin and nose,
While hers I add and add and add and add and,
She never rose and screamed for a passerby's help,
But accepted her fate and this short life of hers,
What have I done? And damned this mentality,
I now grieve the day I erased her from this life,
It matters not if these cursed hands burn in hell,
I cannot bring her back to life to smile once more,
Replenishing my soul with the book of guidance,
Re-establishing the state of my mind and soul,
Seeking grace and mercy from the only One,
Guide me, love me, and forgive all of my sins.

Describing the act of Jahiliyyah..burying young girls alive?

That is absolutely true. I do not quite remember the sort of situation that made me write about this act that was totally abolished when Islam spread amongst the people, but maybe due to the anger in seeing women and children murdered and discriminated against in the 21st century while false banners such as human and woman's rights float around in disguise.

I thank Allah for all of His blessings that He bestowed upon me.

Women's rights activists are really just making noise to allow the making of 'manly-women', if you get what I mean. That's what they call 'equality of the sexes'.

What annoys me is how MUSLIM professors try to show how Islam is 'sexist', wel3iyath Billaah. I got into a heated argument with one, because he tried to argue why we refer to Allah as 'He', when He's neither male or female. He was trying to show how it's a 'man's world', but al7mdulillah..quite a lot of girls protested against that notion. For instance..we shouldn't use the word 'MANkind' but 'Humankind', which is truly absurd.

Even though you didn't mean for it to rhyme, it actually does in certain parts.=) Keep it up, bro ^_^

'Feminist' 'sexist' 'racist' 'anti-semitic' are terms that do not exist in the Islamic dictionary, since Allah's law is above all laws.

Thank you MIB and Magnifique, and I am glad that you enjoyed reading this poem.

Come by again =)

A Touch of Death

Tell me something – Something different – Different to what you just said! Tell me that I will live – Live longer than few months – Months into years with those I dearly love. Tell me to seek advice – Advice from another doctor – Doctor who might have a different opinion. Tell me that these words – Words desperately seeking hope – Hope to find some sort of painless cure. Tell me to stop – Stop thinking about the disease – The disease that tears my body from within. Tell me to forever go away – Away from all of those around me – Me that is suffocating their oxygen away from their lungs. If you cannot tell me anything, If you are going to sit in total silence, Then let my eyes cry, my mouth dry, My ears block, my mind numb, my limbs fit, Let the rigidness of my tired face Illuminate my heart just a little bit more, For I will reach total cure by being in total silence.

A Phase in Life

Let us not talk of this painful phase, Never shall it darken our days, Thorns have grown within my care, A time I can no longer bare, If you ever find a hint of hope, If I ever dare to live and cope, Yet, billions of stars twinkle in the dark hour, And yet, the flashback weakens my power, Fortunate events of planets and moons, Colossal universe surviving the monsoons, And there I walk and there I live, With smiles and peace I always give!

Soliloquy

Speak to me about your world today. Tell me, once more. Ideally, you should quit this blabbering; though you love. Yes, and more; you and me, swim in your world. Explain! Once more it is, I guess, and then peace to you forever. So, how did it start? No wait! Tell me your world in future! Yes, future is in your little mind, and explain is what you want. No, yes, you guess, and you and I were here and there. You and I were once there and here then over and under. What do you say I speak first and then you can add. Add syllables of meaningless words to create nothing but you? Me, a heart, full of emotions and yet you speak of love? I listen and I quote, and I wait and I act, but I never mask. A pathetic act is a mere mask, but speak of love, now! Now is where my world is and start now to continue later. No, the so-called future is what all you think and never discuss. Then become a vendetta, a blabbering icon of lawless love. A great story untold, I believe, fabricated to your kin...
