FIRE IN THE BELLY, A POEM


FIRE IN THE BELLY

Ignorance is the vice of the soul
Knowledge is the virtue of the soul
But what happens when knowledge benefits not the knowledgeable?
What happens when the knowledgeable become culprits
To crimes that the ignorant will dare not commit?
Knowers of the Qur’an and the Sunnah
How could all that mean so little to them?
When death snatches away relatives
Leaving behind helpless orphans
When the guardians devour the children’s properties
Knowing very well it is not their right
When people lie about helping the poor
Poverty, that is so depressing
They rob the good hearted of their wealth
With fat scary lies
Creating orphanages where there are no orphans
Building Masaajid where there are no Muslims
Digging wells where there are no inhabitants
They are full of deceit
All because of the sweets of this Dunya
But Allah gives to them a parable
On their plates may be luxury
But in their bellies
Are blazing flames of fire

By Rubaba Mmahajia Rahma Sabtiu
