Samudeen M.A. Ilimu Poems

Running around the mountain top
Searching high and low nonstop
Where lays the truth?
I need a clear proof
...

How funny the world has become

I am mocked for choosing to wear a Hijab
...

Man birthed to struggle
In this life,
With hopes of changing the world
Positively,
...

Why did I believe those lies?
Hypnotized by the beauty in your eyes
You acted like the perfect one to marry
Some letdowns, difficult to bury
...

You and I together as one
In soul, body & mind
You and I, a mysterious duo
Lines unbeknownst to any poet
...

Why always me?
They always come and go
None had the patience
To really know me
...

Gaza is in my heart
I bleed for my mothers and fathers
I bleed for my brothers and sisters
I bleed for my uncles and aunts
...

I have now seen the light
It does shine bright
I was a lost soul chasing after fame and might
but He found me and held me tight
...

When will she be mine?
It sends chills down my spine
Love is all I seek;
Yet it seems very bleak
...

Where and how do I start?
You've always had a very big heart
A loving mother, a disciplinarian
An embodiment of a true humanitarian
...
