O Brothers, Where art thoe?

They say
There are lots of fishes in the sea

They forget to say
That those fishes are an anomaly

They say
They are around us everyday

They forget to say
They are of no help in many ways

They say
Do not judge the whole by the few

They forget to say
The whole has yet to get a clue

They say
With sincere duaa to Allah(SWT) they will appear

They forget to say
That it is with patience the ummah will persevere

That even with the lack of men
the haqq is our frontier
If they forget to stand up today
Tomorrow they will tear
Because it is our ummah calling for help
It is not a call to volunteer

They say
Leave it for the perfect day

They forget to say
That our sisters are in dismay

The weight on their shoulders heavier everyday
As they wait for real men to take some of it away
To move from the disarray

They say
Be quiet and let things be

They forget to say
That the ummah is one and brothers are key

Closed

I closed my eyes
I found myself unable to see
And I was afraid

I closed my heart
I found myself unable to feel
And I was inexistent

I closed my mind
I found myself unable to think
And I was a prisoner

I closed many things
I found myself unable to breath
I was afraid
I was inexistent
I was a prisoner
Of my own doing

See Their Tears?

Many people see tears
And they watch it fall
It symbolizes the ongoing strife and pain
Amidst the tears, they raise their hands and start to call

Many people see tears
And they watch it fall
It symbolizes the lack of balance
Amidst the tears, they wonder why the ummah stalls

Many people see tears
And they watch it fall
It symbolizes what YOU have done
Amidst their tears, if YOU have done anything at all
