Together

By Amirah ‘Afifah

 

Hopes are lost, statements unheard

Futile mess, heart wrenched

 

Wincing in pain I tried to fight

Nevertheless the stars came to light

 

Followed the sign I tried enough

Looks like it isn’t worth even half

 

Stayed still like a neutron

But acted like an electron

 

Head spinning

Eyes watery

 

I asked myself has this been a felony

Is love a tragedy

 

But the worst came, a calamity

I know it’s a trial, I know it’s a while

 

Let’s stand together

Support each other

 

For the love among the ummah

Stands strong till Jannah
