Safe at Bay

There are sparkles in their pure eyes
Burning souls in disguise..
Arabs; in what do you take pride?
Being helpless when they barely survive!
Arabs, Muslims, where the hell are you?!
A Justin Beiber concert, or something more important, too?
Explosions and massacres! God help them, they’re gone!
Blood and death
Please, help them stay strong..
They’re dying, and all I can do is pray.
While I watch the whole Arab world stand at bay!
If this is how it is with them, then what about us?
What if the land of oil was in distress?
Would you panic then, or still stand silent and “pray”?
Shame on us!
Is this what Islam taught?
To stand and watch, while a whole country stood and fought?
Let’s stand and wait some more, of judgment day I’m terrified..
The day we’ll stand in shame, and them?
They’ll be glorified.
