Strife For The Creator

Naveed Akram 1973 (London)

Free verse
When we strive, we die,
Only to be resurrected.
Grasp the intellect as a food,
Employ the divine method.
We see each other through a
Heart that shimmers in a mirror.
Why do we suffer the ordeals?
Because of the strength of humanity.
The steps must be pure, enlightened
Footsteps, dutifully enacted for goodness.
My walking and dying is for The Creator,
But my seeing and hearing is for Him Only.
When we all are resurrected,
Our thoughts devise a bed of peace
So as to burden nobody but the Devil.
