The blessing of nothing
The blessing of nothing
The paradox on Earth, our wants and needs
Is skewed and driven by our greed
Where we walk by and the helpless plea
Enslaved by the material and by our seed
Greed is the only reason why
We acquire wealth and allow others to die
Greed is the deepest disease of the heart
Turn yourself away form this wretched path
Remember, your time will come to die
Reflect on this and then ask why
have I been put here on this earth?
To acquire the material is to seek a curse
On your soul and remove its sight
Your weakened honour will lose the fight
It is not an easy ask to dispossess
The desire for the world, I can attest
It’s beauty catches me and I can dwell
Like a Joseph trapped inside my well
Reflect on Job and the hardship he endured
Hardship is a blessing from your Lord
Take that blessing, do not ignore
That for you Allah has opened a door
To endure the patience of Allah’s test
Is to be chosen and separated from the rest
