Our world is bent on self-destruction
when we should be aiming at hate reduction.
stop the burning, stop the fighting
we shouldnt be killing, we should be uniting.
we blow up citys like nothing is wrong,
but how much longer can it all go on?
so let this poem be a shining star
let it be for peace, before things go to far.
if we dont stop ourselves right now,
then who will? and how?
if we spent half the time on peace for all,
then we did on destruction, and making others fall,
the world will be a better place for everybody.
instead of a barren waste, for every body.
so lets hope one day their eyes will see,
what one day this world can be.
when people stop all of their fighting,
and finally begin to start uniting.
just because we come from a world of freedom and pride,
does not give us the right to decide
how many innocent people have to die,
and how many lives we will have to deny.
how many buildings will have to burn,
before America will finally learn?
That war is not the only road to peace for all.
so let those who agree get up and stand tall,
and teach our government what needs to be done.
to make the world a better place for everyone.
just come across to my mind...we always say stop war,stop fighting,and start to unite...but is there anything that we've done to make it as reality???
what is our role???just say n give opinion but do nothing???we can just say such a word because we never being tested like what da people out there being tested.when looking in front of them their family member had been killed or raped...what a pity thing...
however again...although I'm asking such a question to myself but still what i can do is just give my opinion.I feel very sad coz i can do nothing to stop these kind of disaster in my beloved world...just sit,see,n critics...what is da meaning of jihad actually that I can do for my ummah???
recently just thinkng how our prophet feel when looking at his ummah today???maybe he can cry n cry...BEFORE HE DIED WHAT HE had asked form Allah???safe my ummah...but Allah reply...no I can do nothing to do that...because why??? it is our 'usaha' to change our destiny...he always saying our name...ummati ummati ummati when malaikat maut took away his life...but what have we done for him???nothing...just bring sadness to him...
stop blaming other...start looking at our on fault...kaji di mana silapnya???kaji kelemahan kita...selagi mana kita menuding jari pada org lain kita tak selesaikan apa2...umat Islam perlu sedar...balik semula pada sirah...pelajari n hayati islam...kerana jawapan pada segala masalah ada di situ...
....
wallahualam...
Dear Sakuramalaya,
I'm ere to give my infinity support to wat u've said. it is inwardly true in our world of our own. But still we have to keep on searching da best way to help them. at da same time ever forget 'dua' as it is da most powerful weapon for the believers. but still its insufficient. We need to put more effort and determination towards it.
my simple peace of advice- whenever u r in ease, eating tasty lavishly food at home, be roti canai in mesia or fish n chips in manchester (heehehe) always be thankful and remember - thousand more are dying of hunger. n every single peeny dat u spent, make sure it doesnt lead to da kuffar's source of income.
or is dere anything i've missed out? perhaps sakura malaya wud like to add?
regards
wassalam
xxx.
p/s...ermmm i wonder who's sakuramalaya? (^_^) ~giggling~
