The Naked Truth
'Tis a strange realm, here riches carry the highest score
Whither, pseudo smiles, fibs, phony sanctimony befools
Herein, how will unsullied souls fly, and soar?
'Tis through a firm and steely demeanor wherein simply truth rules.
At the touch of a key, flashy fronts encircle the vision
Hither, emulate, and fit in, favors amongst the crowd's home run
Pure hearts, how will ye abide in such a diabolical condition?
In truly following and seeking guidance from, the one and only unseen one.
Narcissus perished professing self-love, yet folk outvie him in acts of vain
Narcissism, paired up with impudence; a vicious concoction for a haughty disdain
Can the humble try to shield this vice and still stay humane?
Implore and have faith solely in the veiled one; hither blessings you're sure to gain.
Forsaking ethics, losing morals an appetite instanter to earn the crown
Bamboozle, insidious, callous; the speedy paths for the thriving multimillionaires
How in a world like this can the upright live and strive to ever grow renown?
"Sufficient for them is the only mighty one, who is the best disposer of affairs."
Wasting away without regret, years, time, and progenitor’s gains
Lackadaisical a word to define species, whose hibernation extends beyond winters
Wherein, the diligent souls, untiringly strife, conscientious yet without complains
"Everyone is rewarded for the effort one makes," a covenant of the Almighty Allah, the absolute one who surely delivers.
Life along with its ups and downs enlightens aspects we hardly knew, however, to rush and learn on a hot foot, will thwart the very essence of it.
Appreciate and relish every moment, as with every strife and struggle, we acquire the strength, patience, and skills to tackle the worst and emerge unscathed as well as victorious.
"Sufficient for them is the only mighty one, who is the best disposer of affairs." (Quran 3:173)
"Everyone is rewarded for the effort one makes," (Quran 20:15)
