It's Eid Al-Adha
I went to observe Solat for Eid al-Adha.
Prophet Ibrahim's supposed sacrifice- his son to Allah--
Such outstanding faith in town,
That spares every household firstborn.
You knew not how tempting it was.
Oh, I’ve been to all the other ones
Out of many that could be a cause,
Is known to God how crazy thought runs...
Yet, he didn't compromise
And now it pays out for all
"Abraham blessings are mine... " not legitimize
To see their stands if anyone in place wouldn't have fall.
There was a time
When I do tease the pull of test
And upwards, I would climb to its prime
To fly off failure in my jest.
I used to fly over all victimization
I dreamt of as a kid
And many other simple appropriation,
With the well wishes I do bid.
Also, I do wish each test is well.
Wish more, now close your eyes.
You’re in for something new to tell
Of those moments you wet in dices
Forget those tests that look pretty small,
Just enjoy the bliss of the day and another
As we bear, they’ll ascend to great heights so tall
Overhead to see mountains of green brighter
Topped with snows in purest of whites
To celebrate more in heaven than on earth
Where for meats will cease all fights
In glamorous fits than any earthly worth
Across the world states,
We shall soar
Beyond vast fire that awaits
Everyone fates to be deplore.
Setting sun's reflection on fire.
Today, I ate with both hands
And all days I wish to get more acquired
For the supply of meat expands.
Meats fly the twilit East and West Coast,
Looms ahead the North and South Seashore
Despite the nonstop meats roast,
I can't disallow knocks and ignore
Nice! We’ve plenty of meats,
We’ll keep eating instead.
Meats reached all streets
Now sun finally bid goodnight overfed.
Time to turn this fatty stomach around
And head back on the long fight for sleep.
I am happy there is a vigil on ground.
Tomorrow's sleep will be very cheap.
Tonight, God has answered my prayer.
Perfect time to take a moment and pray;
Thank God for all beauty we share
He has made us to view the best today.
But for me, do you know what the best gift was?
I got to see it with you!
Well, I hate to say but the time has come for us
Our journey must now end so true
We shall do it again!
During Christmas to blend,
Not in vain
But for the good in time, many a friend
