Its been awhile since I went to the mosque
Clerics say
The fact that you feel guilty,means your faith is still around
So ive been sitting around feeling all guilty
But havent done nothing much about it
But today a friend or mine changed me
With a few spoken words
He said
“I have to pray, I feel that good things are coming my way and I should at least thank God
I want to leave these darkness that I've sorrounded my self with”
These got me thinking
Whatever is happening is what I want to happen
Ive ignored my connection with God and settled on distractions
I've invested heavily on regret
Its about time I change
So am writing this down as a reminder to myself
That i've left the old me behind
And the new me is Born
By the way ,my friend is a christian
And I'm a muslim.
So am urging everyone to draw wisdom from wherever you can
Instead of judging each other based on
Religion
Political affiliations or
Color
Born, is a series exclusively about me and what am going through at the moment and my thoughts about it.this poem is a process, it's a three year journey finally taking shape.
I hope It inspires you
