A moment in Time
A
moment in Time
Abu-Tameem
Every
thought envisaged and every prayer said, is just another moment in time that
has passed by
Man
was not created to live eternally in this world which is but an abode for a
finite time until we die
Yet Satan,
the horned and accursed one, has so easily found the weakness of man, a somewhat
forgetful creature
Desiring
paradise, but considers not time his friend, even just a moment in time, and so seek, in this world, eternal leisure
Those,
who truly understand, will know that life on earth is not that long, but it is
merely a moment in time
The eternal
life of paradise with its beauty does await us, save for those who will commit
the ultimate crime
Fooled
are they who seek only the pleasure of this world and look to dominate and mastery
of all other
Alas by
their guile, under the misguidance of one undoubtedly evil, they do poison minds
and clear thinking smother
How
amazing a creation are we not, such that to God we owe gratitude for the perfection
in truly amazing detail
Our
worship is as flawed as the harm we bring to our bodies when we recognise not what
the rights of our bodies entail
An
immune system well organised to ward off alien invasion except that you follow
not the guidance of its Creator
Eat from
that which is wholesome from the ground which He made fertile through the rains
he sent as a blessing
Nay,
man is impatient and ungrateful, finding ways that bring harm to himself as he
with his body is messing
The
Most Perfect Creator has left nothing to chance but gave respite to Satan to
mislead man if he really can
Like the
Pied piper does Satan lead man astray as he diverts from the true guidance as he
does plot and plan
Subjugate
them and make them forget that life in this world is nothing more than a moment
in time
Offer to
save lives with the deadliest of means for which they will hurriedly line up
like it is showtime
Beguiled
and befuddled are the masses by masters who have much love for the dollar like
there’s no end to this life
Truth
is belittled and trampled upon while the tsunami of lies does cause many a painful
death and earth-shattering strife
The
best of speech is that of our Creator so take just a moment of time and attentively
you must lend an ear
He
says “then which of the favours will you deny?” amongst which is the well-designed body whose harm
you now fear
Why
then do you challenge your Most Merciful Lord with your insistence of getting
help from Satan and his cronies
When
his promises are false and they are those who today are masquerading as your
saviours are but indeed phonies
Eat
from the wholesome food from your Lord, the Best Provider, and refrain from a
needle that in it has only harm
When
you realise that your life on earth is but a moment in time, place your faith
in God and not a shot in the arm.

The Clock Ticks
When your time is due
Others' lives won't stop for you
Each life has his own clock
But this is your last tick tock
No one knows your pain
Knocked about without restrain
It's time to say goodbye
the tears swelling in your eye
You had a chance to do good
Not always as you should
It's all now at an end
One last prayer to amend
Now they he was so young
Is the story that is far flung
He had no way to tell
But he was rather unwell
A last sigh a final breathe
He was overcome by death.

The greatest father
I had a dream, I had a dream to be a great father
But in truth it takes more than one person to be that father
For without offspring that was never a dream to be true
Blessed indeed am I that I have a son like you
If what you have achieved was mostly to please me
Understand in your life it is always between you and He
Always a parent is anxious for his child that he may fall
Fearing to get up and not battling to win the ball
How you straightened my back since I too must meet expectations
Of a child who since young was great with his recitations
He loved always to kick a ball and loving the playground to be the field
While as a dad I think only that I must from the dangers you shield
I realised and understand that your life and era is a time beyond us
Watching you grow you may not have understood the fuss
It's not about the detail but always about the goal
For I may not live to see it all as from my body departs my soul
But you are smart and wisdom will come with time
Life is more than a poem that has some rhyme
It is to love and be loved and be the greatest son
For without him no father can be great when all is said and done
Ah the pride when a father sees his child facing the world with strength
Overcoming obstacles and with perseverance triumphs at length
The world's greatest father is he who has the greatest son
If I had to do it all over I'll will have you replaced by none.
As the clock ticks by, rush not into another year
Enjoy your youth and approach the future with no fear
Arm yourself with conviction, faith and determination
Stay true for this dad is for you full of admiration

It's all about love
Even though I so dearly love to look at your face
But being cuddled and holding each other tightly
Such that to separate us will take something mighty
For it's in the heart that love has a seat
With quiet thoughts words need not be spoken
Since to know love silence needs to be broken
The heart beat is clearer than the poet's rhyme
It's your love that is what I have always needed
About you I have never anyone's advice heeded
How devastated I'd be if you were to decline
It's only your amazing love that so energises me
There's no one else I want to be close to but thee
