THE SECOND MAJOR SIN

The Second Major Sin
MURDER
Allah said; And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell to abide therein; and the wrath and the curse of Allah are upon him, and a great punishment is prepared for him. (Al-Nisa'i 93)

Phoenix 131

Forget the past, they say;
Don't dwell on the past, they yearn;
The modern life tutors indeed!
Obey their instruction but recall
What happens to a river when it cleaves its source.

History won't be part of culture if man doesn't need the days before.
A man is born to grow not born grown.
Forget the past, don't dwell on it but remember the path.
Again I plead, please forget the past but remember,
Experience don't come from the future.

THE HUNTER

THE HUNTER 
There is no better hunter than Empty Heart. 
Like the ocean tides, it washes all footprints on the sandy shore.
Leaning on every vacant shoulder in sight, at times, it falls victim of deliberate vacancy.
Lost in the wild, seeking the kind of love between fish and water;
Empty Heart wanders in solitude. 

Alas! Hypocrisy no longer kill slaves, it became their function; 
Curses no longer harm thieves, it used to haunt them; 
Betrayal is a component of contemporary friendship 
And the streets man used to walk is no longer the same. 
Thus, will Empty Earth ever have a true catch?

The days have changed, even things we touch ain't real any longer. 
Humanity seemingly exhausted the object that Empty Heart seeks. 
Will the hunt ever yield? 
Yes, Empty Heart will soon find an empty heart to fill the empty space.

ADIEU 2018

ADIEU 2018

Being a soldier in the Army of Fate, I focused on the last order - 'move forward'.
Paying 111% attention to the move, I proceeded in time and space.
Owing to a weakness of the human race - nebulous knowledge of the future, my place at this point in time I did not envisage.

WHO GETS THE GLORY?
