here's a bunch of stuff i thought i could rhyme recently

if you want to make a contribution
try to stick to exchanging ideas in substitution
to putting each other down
who are you tryna clown?

you start with the name calling
honestly, i find that appalling
talking about being a sufi
without acting on it, just wearing the kufi

pshhh we all need to quit sippin that hatorade
pay attention to coming to each other's aid
you don't know me you're unsure about your inference
so don't be discouraging start being a good influence

let's show each other the respect we show our mother
instead of pretending to step up to one another
about what? you gonna make me learn son?
let's humble ourselves not act like we're better than some
-----------
you ask where are the scholars who stand up today
i say within you within me within all if only we stay
true to the path and honest to our heart
be aware of our souls and fight what keeps us apart
within us is the intensity and might to gain
the will we lost to educate after we got so proud so vain
this ummah is not without
so dear muslims do not go with doubt
we have to defend our pure faith how ever
we can with the help from our Creator
these obstacles we can weather
if only we unite in our plight together
we must put our differences aside and acquire
the knowledge we require
and not blame our circumstances
rise above elevate ourselves and change our chances
to win for we know our Creator showed us the truths
we must make ourselves examples human living proofs
so here and now i make dua
we all die saying the kalimah
without a shred of uncertainty ambiguity enigma
we scream until our very last until the end la ilaha il Allah
-----------
aaahahahahaaa nicely done
ok here's the counter to that one
ajeeb, i don't remember when was it
when we only ate
just to suffice
like you don't know this as a vice
sure it'll get your stomach to make weird noises
eyes unfilled supplies limited run or you're out of choices
yo i saw those aunties piling it until it was almost gone
uncles tripping shoving cutting lines to get their grub on
such a sad state and all over biryani
it's not like they won a trip ride or money
tobah not that they would enter anything like that yani
they too want to go to the land of milk and honey
although too much attention to biri is not enough
after this post no more poems from me about food i love
-----------
recently it dawned upon me
wanting to avenge my wronged brothers and sisters
is not the way for me to be
reward and punishment are only from Him
really who are we?
to decide what's in other's minds and hearts
self righteously we decree
both sides in conflict in the name of my Lord
not so easy to see
what's right what's wrong who's right who's wrong
wanting everyone to be like me to believe
making me a fanatic like the ones who impede
-----------
you're so money baby
you don't even know it
putting your morals aside maybe
all you gotta do is flow with it
sliding by closed eyes you sin
as they sink their teeth in
with their good looks quick charm synthesized
in a matter of minutes you're desensitized
inflating your ego
intensifying the battle between the id and the superego
simmering to a conclusion
your once escalating vision
crumbled now you have no mission
you're praying to your Lord and you're wishing
you weren't so stupid to knowingly make a bad decision
given self importance slows your show
i pray my Lord keeps me in the know
-----------
tired of all of this self hate
all of my people propagate
yes i need self criticism to render
but we also require hope to engender
basing my life not just on feelings
we have to incorporate it in every day dealings
i do away with all of this bluffing
enough we emphasize on only loving
i want to perform my rituals without distractions
so let's love enough to supply our actions
my Lord help me rise to the challenge
for faith in action together i know my people can manage
