Who’s in charge here?

I was out all last night. 
I discovered things I never had. 
I always wondered why God would send the wrath 
And I discovered why last night.
He gave us dignity, we abuse ourselves.
He gave us joy, we create our pain.
He sent us Light, we choose the darkness.
So, how can we complain?
The ways of this world is degradation.
Our simple choices without thoughts.
We take the easy way out to follow our desires without responsibility.
Never a second thought of the consequences.
When we reflect on what we have done, have we done our best?
When we look back at past experiences, are we still at the old habits?
When we look into ourselves, are we recognizing the person we see?
When we ask ourselves, are we happy; can we confidently say yes?
The rules are not meant to be broken
If we follow the One who created them
For life was not meant to be a disaster
But somehow, we have managed to master that.
I ask the one in charge of this country
Why do you allow such abnormalities
To occur within a system which you dictate
In one which you encourage to follow His laws.
Yet when I go out on the streets I stil see the poor
The needy, the helpless, the beggars
The destitute, the shambles and the filth.
I see all the unfairness of your un-work!
Broken promises forever will prevail
Until you have the courage to make reasonable changes 
Get off your big chair and come down to their level, sit on the floors in their hot homes
Drink from their cups and bath with their boor water.
Try driving in the traffic without the police bells wailing to 
Give you right of way
When everyone else has to wait for their turn in the heat and traffic, 
As the old bugger is pushing his cart of wares or food just to earn a measly sum.
You know, for all the naked lady-boys dancing on bar tops
And karaoke girls from China and Russia liven your rooms,
The entrepreneurs could never succeed unless they have your permission
What is it all about?
I want to stand on a rock and yell out," What are you doing?
Are you blind?"
No wonder the disasters strike 
And there's no way to ask for His help when 
I know you just don't care.

Ramadan 24, 1438H

Assalamualaikum warahmahtullahi wabarakatuh. Assalatu wasalam ala sayyidina Muhanmmad was ala alih.  Bulan Ramadhan yang sempurna sudah mau berakhir. Ummat menjemput kedatangan malam Laylatul Qadr: sebuah malam yang disebutkan yang lebih berkah dan punya pahala yang berlebih2an; pahala berganda ; malam dimana malaikat Jibril dan semua malaikat2 lain menurun ke Bumi untuk melihatkan manusia dan mendoakkan kita. Ini ialah kepercayaan ; iman dan deen seorang muslim / mukmin. Dengan kesadaran ini kita punya harapan. Dengan harapan kita inshaallah meningkatkan keimanan. Allah zal Jalalu tidak pernah mau melimpahkan kepada manusia sesuatu, selain rasa kasih cinta; sebab itu muslim2 seluruh dunia merasa ketenangan bulan mulia ini. Kalau memang ada di tempat2, yang dalam bulan Ramadhan yang tidak nyaman , masih berperang ; artinya mereka sendiri menjauhi diri mereka daripada kegembiraan yang Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala hendak memberikan.

Aims

Although I am afraid Although I may feel weak Although destiny has been written  Nothing prepares for it’s trials  Although I may have knowledge  Although I may be courageous  Although I have my principles  Nothing but faith can lift me Although  I dread what future holds  Although life’s path is blurred Although my aim is apparent  Nothing but my self can take this road  So,  when this path is trodden Slowly will I venture  The care and caution I will use  In time I will be beholden  To experience which age has brought That will guide me towards my haven  ~lorrainenur@2018 Seems inspirations are starting once more. How I have missed it’s presence. 🌹
