Meditations Part 14
A letter to the society that raised me
I see you
For years I believed this was me
But it was a lie
A lie intelligently woven by the fabric of society
The same threads that weave also constrict
The music you play does not heal
It makes us sick
Your social media is beautiful to the thirsty
But a mirage cannot quench
Our bellies are full
But our hearts are empty
The women you display are dressed yet naked
You tell us true purpose is to chase money
Education
Fame
Status
External validation
To seek that which is weak
Is weakness itself
A recipe for disaster and grief
Tell me that you are free
Tell me the ways in which you enslave yourself
I wish to know the poison of your choosing
Our soul is a gift
A blessing in search of the truth
To disrespect this blessing is to hijack it
To submit to your lowly desires
We fill to be empty
Why do we empty ourselves like this?
Caught up in the pursuit of happiness and truth
But you tell me where the depression lies
We live in an age where a man can marry another man
You call this “progress”
I call this a joke
The punishment on the nation of Lut
Was mentioned with extra time
To get it through our hearts
When you go against the natural order of Allah
You are violate yourself
The grand deception
To place the needs of the body over the soul
His river will be a fire
& his fire – a river
A perpetual deceit that his river is truth
It flows smoothly with many false promises
Better healthcare
Pure water
Upgraded facilities
Cleaner roads
Effective transport
Higher technology
Beautiful people
If the focus is on the external, tell me, can there be any happiness?
His promises are decorated shells that encase ugly lies
WAKE UP.
Your soul is screaming at you
But you don’t hear it
Underneath all the filth it is muted
Muted screams
Do we have eyes with which we do not see?
Ears with which we do not hear
Hearts with which we do not understand
Have our hearts sealed due to the lack of remembrance?
Remembrance of the one who created us
Created us before we knew what it meant be alive
The exterior is polished
A façade that feigns purity
Yet is rotten to the core
The soul screams and cries
From the inside out
Screams to be let out
When unmuted
The screams become deafening
Traverse the meadows
The green expanse
With trees so tall
They touch the sky
The beautiful riverbanks
and gorgeous trees bearing lush lead fruit
This is the natural order of the universe
This is where you belong
This is home
This society is all a trick
A lie
Deception
You can’t deceive me anymore
I see you
So, I wait
For that day
In which they will remain forever
I don’t submit to your lies
I submit to something higher.
