Heart of Darkness
By MuslimBrother92
When I’m down I feel depressed.
I feel as if I’m being oppressed.
I try hard to come out of the dark.
And that is when I look at my heart.
My heart is attached to something small,
And this is what has made me fall.
I try to get up but I cannot,
I am stuck on this dark spot.
I work hard for this little thing,
And I have made it my everything.
I try to look past the consuming darkness,
But I cannot see through its pure blackness.
All this is from this little thing,
And now I could feel the painful sting.
Although I have this life I shall miss out,
I’ll miss out on Jannah while I burnout.
I say I’m working for this religion,
But that is nothing but a sad illusion.
The truth is I’m working for myself,
To buy and buy, to please oneself.
So now I should wake up to true reality,
And really commit to my obliged duty.
Because if I don’t I will be punished,
And in the end I would have perished.
The little thing that caused all this to spring,
Was nothing but the dunya,
Wrapped up like a ring.
