ATTENTION

Awareness

By Ali Sadeek AhmedPublished about a year ago 1 min read

ATTENTION

The world cried out, “Attention!”

The time has drawn near and arrived,

Prepare yourselves for the call.

A moment approaches, then fades,

So seek strength through hope and prayer.

The heavens shine with light,

Praising justice high above,

And blotting out all tyranny for good.

Attention!

To all of creation—

Approaching, retreating—

Only one word can encompass them all:

Obedient.

Attention!

Are there eyes that cannot see?

Channel upon channel,

Connection upon connection,

The people turn away from it all.

Where are you from the word, “Ah!”

While pain stretches to its utmost limit?

Attention!

Women find no escape,

And battle has reached its end.

The child cries, “Oh, my father!”

And, “Oh, my mother!”

Hunger creeps into every mouth,

To claim its bitter peak.

Hunger, killing, and calamity,

While people dance and sing,

They do not hear a cry,

Nor the sorrow echoing with an “Ah!”

Ah... Ah... Ah...

Attention!

O world, Attention!

Injustice has reached its peak,

But justice dawns in the sky,

And light, inevitably, will fill its expanse,

Erasing all tyranny and the tyrants,

Spreading justice far and wide,

To bring salvation.
