Amidst the encircling gloom,
I question myself every time as I try to substitute a reason.
For, nothing feels enlightened.
As we swallow a dose of lies in the name of truth.
By being unaware.
I fear the eventuality of judgements passed.
With betrayal it manifest.
So, I decide and urge to wish,
To wish for peace and freedom against war.
Peace that calms the tired soul just like the wonderful purple evenings calming the wanderer. Freedom that frees a bird from its cage to fly over where the sky is spread out overhead.
To wish for justice against oppression.
To wish for good governance who believes in goodness, who fear their lords and judge with clarity just like the golden morning sunrise.
To wish for unity against division. Unity that speaks and consoles just like the stars that twinkles one by one and beautifies the sky with its glitter even more.
To wish for kindness against brutality.
Not the kindness that mourn over the dead or the security of the slave. The kind of kindness that makes life on earth worth living.
Not just for me but for all. Not merely in our time but for all the time.
In order to conquer the defeatist belief of unsolvable.
Let us stand united and pray for the just, for peace and for freedom that pleases our Lord.
Ending with the awakening verse from the Qur'an:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا قَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَاءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالْأَقْرَبِينَ إِن يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا أَوْ فَقِيرًا فَاللَّهُ أَوْلَىٰ بِهِمَا فَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا الْهَوَىٰ أَن تَعْدِلُوا وَإِن تَلْوُوا أَوْ تُعْرِضُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا.
O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both. So follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just. And if you distort [your testimony] or refuse [to give it], then indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, acquainted.
