Poem

I know you won’t think so 
But I do understand 
Why you left to travel 
To an unknown foreign land 
  
Leaving everything you and I 
Grew up with 
Although I am not from your community, 
Not Muslim 
We both grew up in the same scenes 
Went to the same schools with the same doors 
  
Which were never really open for us, 
Just ajar 
It was designed that way 
So that we would both have to stay 
Irrespective of our clan 
And invest in a system 
That was not designed to pay 
Money is colour-blind, so they say 
  
I know the world seems weak 
And you want to feel safe 
By a show strength, and leadership 
That it seems the only solution to this world of ours 
Which has no sense of right and wrong anymore 
That you want someone to take your hand to guide 
To give you a worthwhile purpose in life 
  
Guess what - me too! 
And I know what you will say 
This is something 
In our country 
Which seems determined not to change 
Cannot be offered to me or to you 
I know 
  
But I fear their ‘truth’ is not so 
That their image will not provide all you crave 
If you only travel far, far away 
To become a Jihadi Bride 
Be the wife of someone with murder rate and a 
Kalashnikov by his side 
  
For belief and love is too often high jacked 
By those 
Who crave power, position and wealth 
This policy, too often used, 
Is good for no one’s health 
As is ‘my enemies' enemy is now my friend’ 
  
And they will not stop 
Until they have it all 
Whatever they sell to you, to them 
Good, your religion and morality is irrelevant 
  
Please continue to part 2 of 2 thank you
