"Why Oh Why"

Intellectually I speak
…with a mind that leaks,
…and a heart that’s weak,

Today I came across a sign that made me realize,
A sign that opened my eyes and made me criticize,
…of how narrow minded some people could be,
Celebrating the blood of victory, something irreligiously,
Walking down the memorial; people waving the American Flag,
Wearing t-shirts “Support our troops” scripted in the back,
Motorcylers tattooed “Eagle” on the side of their neck,
The country –who accepted me –and gave me food,
Gave me education –gave me all they could,
How can these evil people treat me so good?
Am I a project their after to make a name for their own?
Did they accept me ‘cause of the tears I’ve shown?
Or to claim to have Muslim citizens living at home?
Questions running circles in my mind,
Searching for answers that I’m not able to find,
This is not matter of oil or money anymore!
How could you invade homes and kill the poor?

This sign opened my eyes, today,
Made me see the reality, with the message they convey,
What else can I say?
Brothers and sisters, today is the day,
For you to grab the chance and pray,
…don’t turn away for your faith
Start now, for tomorrow might be too late.
