Drop it
Thinkers, philosophers and people of wisdom
From the ancient past till now
Have understood that what made man different
Was his reason and to question how;
However, with his ego unabated
He left the realm of the mind
To conclude the most irrational
Subsequently, turning him blind;
The cosmos never evoked thinking
And his inner self began to complain
Why do you deny your Maker
You deny reason, once again;
Obeying his whims and desires
Forgetting the person he once was
Pushing his soul into destruction
Believing fairy tales, like The Wizard of Oz;
Enclosed, trapped and forgotten
His heart began to decay
He chose hate over love
His life now in dismay;
Following the path of rejection
The truth was covered and ignored
His delusion of self-submission
Created a barrier and closed the door;
The entrance to Divine love and mercy
That was once open and a free
Remained shut, clamped and secure
As he forgot himself completely;
The realm of animals he entered
And enslaved himself to his bestial needs
But what he never understood
Was that Allah's mercy always succeeds;
Return to the One that made you
Loves you and wants you near
Take that step to start the journey
And He will remove your fear;
The fear of solitude and rejection;
The fear of hate, remorse and greed
The fear of arrogance and corruption
That doesn't touch those who truly believe;
Do not reject His love and mercy
It's there for you to embrace
Traverse the path of love and virtue
Your soul do not deface;
Turn back to the path of guidance
Acknowledge who you are
Nothing, dependent and needy
And you'll see He was never too far;
Closer to you than your jugular vein
You heart and mind at peace
It was the ego after all
That made you forget this ease;
In that nothingness and debasement
You found out who you really are
A servant of the uniquely One
Who never wanted you so far;
The Irresistible, The Loving
The Subtle, and The Wise
The Compassionate, The Holy
Not knowing Him is your demise;
At last the journey has started
It won't be easy my friend
But God is always with you
Until the very end.
