The anguish of patience

 
 

The prophet was halted until forty years old

Then God charged him and declared that the truth be told

Oh Muslims look at this simple fact

And reflect on this before you act

Whilst passion exists within the young

Your lack of the world can make you dumb

Life is long, and opinions change

Can you declare before God you will remain the same?

To live like our prophet whom you adore

Does not mean you impose Allah’s law

Look at how he lived and reenact this

And you shall be destined for eternal bliss

Stand up and speak for what is right

Hold back, refrain to engage the fight 

Find love, be married and true to your wife

For in this act, is half your life

To live like the prophet is to visit the sick

Not stand and preach, you hypocrites!

You have no notion of the repercussions of war

It you not be something to seek or adore

The easy life of the sheikh seated on his stand

Mirrored by the hardship of the mortal man
