You know Allah
Yet you do not obey Him
You recite the Qur’an
Yet you do not act according to it
You know Satan
Yet you have agreed with him
You proclaim your love for paradise
Yet you do not act to gain it,
You proclaim your fear for the fire
You do not prevent yourselves from sins
You say, “Indeed death is true”
Yet you have not prepared for it
You busy yourselves with finding faults with other
Yet you do not look at your own faults
You eat that which Allah has provided for you
Yet you do not thank Him
You bury your dead
Yet you do not take lesson from it.
If we fight why do we love?
I we love why do we fight?
We say, “Let live”, but then we war.
We say, “Save the child”, but abortions are the norm.
Respect, honor, prosperity is our pride,
But strife, division, and rivalry are on our side.
Saying and doing what you say,
Is living and loving to live?
Black brown yellow white and red,
The five soils folded into life.
Black brown yellow white and red,
Brothers and Sisters let’s end the night.
“Blood in is red”. “Blood out is live”.
I look into your eyes.
My heart, your heart,
It’s beating into one.
My brother, my sister,
! will stand.
Now it’s up to you my friend,
Will you take my hand?
Do you wish the world were better?
Let me tell you what to do.
Set a watch upon your actions.
Keep them always straight and true.
Rid your mind of selfish motives.
Let your thoughts be clean and high.
You can make a little Eden of the sphere you occupy.
Do you wish the world were wiser?
Well, suppose you make a start,
By accumulating wisdom in the scrapbook of your heart;
Do not waste one page on folly;
Live to learn, and learn to live.
if you want to give men knowledge,
You must get it, ere you give.
Do you wish the world were happy?
Then remember day by day
Just to scatter seeds of kindness, As you pass along the way,
For the pleasures of the many may be ofttimes traced to one.
As the hand that plants an acorn shelters armies from the sun.
