And just when I thought 'it was over'
These thoughts engulf me again
Through heavy eyes I see 'em glimmer
Some void images of pain
As I wake from a deep slumber
I see all the hollow pleasures around
I see His wrath, I see thunder
Yet I hear no sound
I raise a voice, I hear silence
"LORD, why art Thau so mad?"
I see His face, I feel His ascendance
"Our deeds indeed are so sad"
And thence a trance I see
Men like savages fight
The reason as appears to me
Is what 'they' feel is right
I see homes made huge
I see something called 'money'
Whilst some search for refuge
Their brothern I see are gooney
I see urban sprawl
I see some lives so bright
In villages i see men crawl
Some lives live without light
I see childhood when we'd share
Our food, our colours, our heart
I can't recollect from where
As we grew we learned to part
As I see it appears to me
The end I feel is close
one day I mean could we?
use up all resource?
I felt His ascendence dawn again
"The world I made was pure"
"Thence will it strength regain"
"As impure once chaliced turns pure"
And then I woke to see
My dream manifest to reality
And as I woke He said to me
"Rise today and change this world"
~~Harris Siddiqui
