“
How Will You Reply?
Listen and understand;
Our grief and our pain
It is only our life gain
We escape from injustice,
Inhumane conduct, and system
In our beloved motherlands
For human rights
Under fair and equal justice
In civilized societies
Where we live and breathe,
Missing our birth homelands,
Friends, families, and cultures
You have no clue of such feelings
We bear and wear that, every minute
Alas, you blame and classify us
As terrorists and dangerous
As religious teaching executors;
Whereas, we follow and respect
The rules and law that you enforce
We contribute our energy and skill
For enhancing your societies
If one of us does wrong
It becomes, a religious terrorist
If one of you does wrong
It defines as a mental sickness
What a justice or philosophy it is?
You victimize many nations,
Killing innocent ones
Only for your interests and benefits
You still stay civilized and righteous
If we defend our rights
And self-determination
You label us as religious terrorists
As a fact, you manufacture and supply
The weapons of mass destruction
Just tell us that; how you will stand
And lie, in front of Jesus Christ?
How will you reply,
When Jesus will ask
What you left on the blue planet
Hatred or Love, Peace or Hostility
Mercy or Cruelty, Hunger or Food
Analogy or Distinction?
