Cultural Hijack

Cultural Hijack

Hijabs, Kufies, Quran, and Sunnah
Rehab, Hash Cookies, Prom and Zinah
Innocence, Community, Faith and prayers
Drugs, Scrutiny, hustlers and players

A difference, which at one point seemed so well defined
Except this time, a melting pot, white and brown combined
Seeing no difference between kufar and those of the book
Men not lowering their gaze, taking more than one look

Morals transparent, beliefs equally lost
Selling out of your religion, is hell really worth the cost?
Turning away from your God, to be accepted by his creation
Contains consequences, like a country built on inflation

A pebble in a world of sands, a speck of dust in the atmosphere
Ignorant like a poet without hands, agnostic like those who are unclear
Unclear of their faith, unclear of their blessings
On the day of calamity, don’t be among those who are stressing

Its never too late to come back for his mercy, or to attain his love
But if the sun rises from the west, you will be useless like a handless glove
For you had a lifetime of regret, actions on grounds for remorse
Repent and turn away from the flame, be amongst those who roam through paradise on their white horse
