-i’m Arab
there is always war
taking place inside me
threatening the communal civility
of soul, heart, mind living in tranquillity
when will the mind come to the altar
offer itself up for the slaughter
when will heart and soul conspire to kill
erase the mind-ego-blabber to nil
then heart will hang itself in humility
and leave the soul to manifest its nobility
the swinging states of obedience, disobedience
regret and remorse at my convenience
we Arabs, know what it tastes like to be parched in deserts
to walk between the line of extro and introverts
always aware, our worthlessness known
born into something, on loan and dying alone
we carry this well within our breasts
aware for the sincere there is no rest
the secrets states come from admittance and pardon
seeking only His countenance, neither hell fire or the garden
so what is this self love you boast about and seek
forever enslaving you, keeping you weak
strength comes from internal war, not internal peace
until seeing your true colours manifests, and self worship will cease
come then, join us, we’ll show you the way
how to be at war with yourself and ego to slay
-W.E.
