(A Song of God's Faithfulness) [A Duet] She begins: And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen.. el-iyanu: For the days of good, for the days of bad, For the days of beans, for the days of rice, For the days we fall, for the days we rise, For the days of faith, for the days of doubts, And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen, And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen! Bella: For the days I cried 'cause I was losing myself For the days when I no even get Raba sef For the days my Faith wavered And for the day I finally made peace with my Maker And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen! el-iyanu: For the days of trees, for the days of plants, For the days of then, for the days of now, For the days we could, for the days we snoozed, For the days of heat, for the days of ice, And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen! Bella: For the days of Sorrow, for the days of Happiness For the days I was praised and the days I was blamed For the days I had mor...

A planned visit, a random call, A gentle text, the warmest hug A friendly chat, the deepest thoughts Falling in place, a gentle rug Love at first sight, a croaking frog An ugly king, a smitten queen A fairy tale, a sinking ship Hunting for bounty, a sailor's code Like friendship, an undying scroll... © el-iyanu Friendship is truly a gift. Falling ill and having friends and colleagues rally round in the most genuine of ways is something truly special. Thank you dear ones. You also can't quantify the family.

When people don't want to grow, You have to let them go— Love them with all your heart, But let them go— To leave them behind, So your tracks they won't rewind. You find them fear possibilities of greatness, Making the same mistakes with same difference, Extremely good at what they do, But that's exactly all they do— Year in and out, it's the same cycle, You think of jets, they think of tricycles, Want you to succeed, but from their own cycle; But life goes on, brief as a haiku... The sky is wide, you have to explore, Not leave your future In the hands of one you must implore! Take charge, have faith, be strong, For yes, you must rise to your destiny's call! And you'd be surprised at the good things that befall. Remain loyal but don't be a fool, Trust in God will make you a stronger bull. When people don't want to grow, You have to let them go— Love them with all your heart, But let them go— Leave them with prayers and show them the way, To leave them be...

Gave too much, I began to hate Sense of worth did it inflate But all my love did it deflate Gave too much, I began to hate Had a lot on my plate I began to feel distate Feeling like I poured my love All down the rabbit hole O, myself, you have to put it all on hold Gave too much, I began to hate It's them on the line, I'll rather put it all on hold When I wasn't there, how did it all unfold? You have to notice that I changed a little Wisdom is profitable more than a little I gave so much I began to hate But I have to say, it wasn't all in vain There was a lot I gained But eventually  You get tired of the same old stories It's also love when you let people grow I gave too much, I began to hate The closer they are, the more it's hard to take It used to be all so exciting, A smile on my face— But I became a little wiser, Yet did I become more selfish? But I gave so much, I began to hate Things to think, had a lot on my plate Can't keep doing the same things ove...

 I. Tested positive for having faith in God When it wasn't easy and things were rough Went under the waves And came through the storms Went through the fire And grevious burns But I— Just tested positive for having faith in God, And knowing that storms don't last. II. I tested positive for having doubts So many times when I cried out loud Tears in the pillow, asking why  Why the pain, Lord haven't I tried? Why are things so freaking hard?! Are you mean because I've been bad? Everytime I just feel sad Like you mixed my bread with sand But I— Just tested positive for having faith in God, And knowing that storms don't last. III. Things were silent in the storm The world watched as I beat the walls Locked in, no one to help me out I'm screaming loud without a sound Wasn't chained, but I was bound To worrying for God to come through I understood when the tides turned He was there all along But those days were long and dark And I— Just tested positive for having f...

I Spoke to King Solomon yesterday, Told him I was sad and lonely, yeah; He looked at me and deeply smiled, Showed me a god-forsaken road, Then said: Listen carefully and watch, my child— The road is never alone! Listen, he said, the road is never alone! Your joy is yours, and so is sadness, Listen carefully, he said, my child— The road is never alone, And so you never walk alone! The path is lonely, and the lane is dark, Your mind is filled With a lot of things you can't track, Still, you never walk alone. Dark skies like a blacked-out picture, Blowing like garments without cincture, Tripping your feet chasing the future, Bad news that keeps the soul injured; At times, happiness becomes a decoy, Deflecting attention like a wind-up toy, But sadness remains behind the smile, Mind shattering like a broken tile… But I spoke to King Solomon yesterday, Told him I was sad and lonely, yeah; He looked at me and deeply smiled, Showed me a god-forsaken road, Then said: Listen carefully and wa...

(All Guts, No Glory) All guts, no glory, Take it from the top, no story, Charging to the fore  With zeal unholy. They move quickly with no direction, No impact, no magnitude, Scalar quantities  With no direction. They claim guidance from God Almighty, Sacrifice their life for something mighty, Give their best in all their tithing, But their minds are dark, without enlightening! They're vectors in the sense of sniffing blood, Vipers who attack in a bloody rush, Like tigers who developed a taste for flesh, The god they serve is but themselves! All guts, no glory— Take it from the top, no story, Living so wrong A zeal unholy!   © el-iyanu
