I cannot bear the oppression and injustice that I see.
So, I try to look inward to change these traits within me.
I’m now extra careful not to oppress those in my life.
Self-accounting now discussed between husband and wife.
I feel for my community between the river and the sea,
As if a sharp pain is stemming from inside of me.
I’m turning my pain into prayer for you and your kin,
Which is expanding the capacity of my chest within.
I cannot imagine how you are living through this test…
Yes, you remember Allah and your hearts find rest.
I finally started journaling His Holy Book,
Feeling desperate I didn’t know where else to look.
I keep shouting, that you will be free’
But actually , you are freeing me.
