Ramadhan Poem

Adeel —

ummm, was jus readin issue 3 of revival n there's an article in it titled "be a muslim for life-not jus 30 days" and it reminded me of this poem i writ a couple of yrs bak n i thought id post it up. not one of my best but its alrite, i like to believe it gets its point across.

It was actually ramadhan wen i wrote this, n it really bugged me to see how ppl jus changed for a month n den afta carried on as if da month neva went by, n dats basically wot the poems about.


[u]Ramadhan[/u]


Once a year

According To The Moons stare

That special month

Draws ever near


Lie, shout, scream and swear

You do it all the time

And never care

Why stop now?

And put on that frown

You know its an act

Even worse than a clowns


Who are you tying to fool

When you act all calm and cool

Because the sharade wont last

Allah will see straight past


Its Ramadhan you say

"Im supposed to act this way"

But i'll tell you this my friends

One Month Of Decency and Pray

Will always keep you 11 months far away

From those Heavenly Gates

Which we wish to pass and stay

i think the shakespeare inside me has awoken:


the silent brakes here comes princess of terror

a rude awakening all transformed into horror


clowns come and clowns go

but this is different, this true magnetic anger


at what started off as a innocent thread

turned into a nasty experience for the reader....


ok ok enuf for now... i off to sleep.
