Allah's Rope

I wrote this poem in the first quarter of 2013

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I trusted them, and hurt I got

What happened was what I hadn’t thought



Afraid I got, more, day by day

Things don’t just go the way you plan



But what was wrong, where did I lack

What is it I can’t understand



The day then came, alone I was

No one to tell me what was right



Where were the people I had met

This darkness really gives a fright



That’s who we are, humans, we’re strange

Putting our trust in mortal beings



A walking dummy, just made of clay

Who ends up being castaway



I turned myself away from them

On whom do I now put my trust



The friendship that seemed iron-strong

The shortest time, it took to rust



But then I saw, a hope there was

Which could bring out the best in me



Why did I not see it before

How lost I was in fantasy



That, which a mountain could not take

We took it and we then forgot



What honor was given to us

And how we kept it far apart



Is this it that I need in life

Was I missing this all that time



The messed up thoughts all in my head

Suddenly starting to make a rhyme…



Holding to strings society sets

How wrong I was to drift away



They only need you for some time

And after that you’re thrown away



I then went back to search the truth

Everything started to come together



Stopped worrying of what is in this world

Started worrying of what is forever



The trust I needed, I now have

It makes me strong, it gives me hope



True love is the reward I get

I now hold firmly Allah’s rope
