The Devil You See

Why are you so afraid of me Of who I am growing to be Flashing in your eyes I see Fear and uncertainty Why such irony Such hypocrisy Why were you so much nicer to me When I denied the Almighty? I've looked and looked Until I found this Book Of peace, of so many marvels Which you call lies of the devil I've tried so hard to hide To purge these thoughts from my mind Afraid, so afraid Of what was burrowing inside. Who is this devil you see All I see Is me. Why are you free to preach But act against what you teach While I mask myself in guarded disguise While the flower of my faith wilts and dies? We all have a path to choose Roads that claim to lead us to Truth Trials Allah put us through Then all that we used to do And that we used to say Are laid bare on that final day Before the angels' searching eyes Allah alone will judge you and I For Allah is a better judge Than you and I. So till then won't you Won't you look closely Are you afraid to find A little of yourself In these eyes of mine?
