I do not belong

I do not belong
Neither here nor there
I was born to belong
To a selected few

But then I questioned
The logic of a group
I understood belief and goodness
Was all that was needed

I therefore choose
Someone from both
Now we walk
Our destined born paths

Together
Yet separate
The days have come
When we both realize

This stark difference
We are bound to compromise
The hurt is there
On both the harbor ends

And we remain
...I remain
Swimming afloat
In no man's land

Thank you My Lord

Today I realised
how much my Lord loves me
He has proetected me
from all the calamities

He gave me a mother
and a father
and how many times have
I taken them for granted?

He gave me a sister
to play with
who will first think of me
before herself

and how many times
have i walked passed her
unnoticed?

He gave me clothes
and food
and drink
He gave me chocolate
and ice creams

He gave me shoes to wear
and how many times
did I nag my mother
on how old they had become?

He gave me love
He gave me friendship
He gave me the Quran Shariff
to be my strenght and guide

He gave me little trials
A little exam to pass
A small task to perform
and how I failed them?

Today He showed me
the kind of trials He has given
my other brothers and sisters

Trials of hunger
Trials of death
Trials of poverty
Trials of subgugation

Today I can see
how dearly blessed I am
I beg for forgiveness
of all those times

that I was ungrateful
that I didn't notice
that I didn't realise
of the kindness of my Merciful Lord
