What About Us Poem by HB Rita
What About Us
You have said to be sure to show loyalty to your Lord
Do not argue
Because you are our life's protector
You have said your creation will glorify the nature
Because you are the best creative creator and
Your creations are surrounded by millions of messengers and your blessings
But we are those unfortunates
who were kicked out of your beautiful garden completely
What will happen to those who fall in the defenseless water?
Millions of souls are hungry, what will happen to us?
We are your eternal beautiful sculptor,
We need a supportive hands on our head
What will happen to us?
We are the deaf people in the freedom of speech
What will happen to us?
We are the bourgeoisie-proletariat class in a capitalist society
chasing each other like mice and cat
Who will stop the exploitation?
We are divided into classes in the fight of equality
What will happen to us?
There is no scope to expand our vision
We are submerged in a deeply confused conscience
What will happen to us?
We are thousands of tortured people who want security
What will happen to us?
You said,
patience is one of the instruments, arrows, soldiers that never gets distracted
You said,
'Oh my children who believe in me!
Be patience and hold a firm actions of the challenges'
You also said,
'And be patience! Surely Allah is with you'
Oh Omnipotent! Oh Lord!
We are those who are constantly absorbed- we rise with questions
We are those who persevere in your mercy
We are impatience
What will happen to us?
Cannot agree with you more. There is existential suffering that is part of the human condition. But then there is suffering inflicted by humans on other humans through institutions of power and constructs of class, race, gender, etc. History is full of examples that when we rise up with questions we can make a change!
From Gilgamesh and the Book of Job (Hazrat Ayyub) to Dostoevsky and Kafka there has been relentless search for an explanation of existential human suffering. That may be the basic human condition. But it is ameliorated by glimpses of Nature's beauty and benevolence. What is unforgivable is the suffering imposed by humans on other humans. Please keep writing.
Thanks for your review. We often believe that patience is the best way to overcome with things. My Mom believes that Allah almighty loves those who hold patience on everything. Not necessarily everyone can hold patience on their suffering. Sometimes we rise up with questions for what we see or feel. What about us?
