Lightning does not strike twice

Yet hope remains for the faithful

The ones oppressed

Full of fear, full of fright

Every day and every night

When tanks face up to stones

One wonders the consequence

Yet hope remains for the faithful

As they find peace and solace

From the Almighty, All merciful

The slaughter of innocents

Under the cover of ‘self defence’

Yet hope remains for the faithful

Attack after attack

Excuse after excuse

As the world sits and watches

On their couches, on their asses

Occasionally shouting at the disgrace

Of the cruelty toward their brothers

Then returning to their matters

Forgetting they ever witnessed

The cries of those in pain

Forgetting the deafening sounds

Drowning the shouts of His name

Allahu Akbar

When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way. 2: 186
