A poem

Salamu Aliakom,

Here's a poem I wrote today. Thoughts, comments, and constructive criticism are most welcome :)

[hr]
Love your Brother? Love your Sister?

The time has come to ask the self
A question out of sincerity
To ponder from the depths of the soul
And the chasms of the mind
Whether there is a place in the heart
For your brothers and sisters in Islam
Does it pain you to see them?
[i]CRY![/i]
[i]DIE![/i]
Laying awake at night
Praying to Allah
For their protection
For their salvation
For the Muslims to unite
Out of the mist of confusion and fright
Comes clear the question
Love your brother?
Love your sister?

ok that's going on *my* homepage (with your permission of course :))

mashaAllah I like it.

Here's another good poem, one of my favorites, may Allah reward the author :)





Forgotten Men



There was a time, long ago

When honor, justice and chivalry

Roamed the earth, in the hearts of men

Bidding you peace and prosperity

Aiding you in dire times

When brotherhood was

Sworn by your heart

Not by your VISA

Beloved our Prophet was

Perilous tasks undertaken

From the persecution in Makkah

To the Muslims of Madina

Mercy to mankind he was

Forget me nots

Nay what a shame

Tis we, are who to blame

They come and go

High and low

These forgotten men are everywhere

In times of ours they are rare

Assalam,
I really like the "Love your Brother? Love your Sister?" Because it's deep and too true!:)
