I'll post an article about it in The Daily Sigh tomorrow, In Shaa Allah when more details are reported. For now, I'm just sharing a poem I just wrote. Haven't titled it but whatever. Here you go:
Day by day they slaughter
Week by week they "pray"
Hell is getting hotter
Still the weak will preyUpon the innocents
Upon our innocense
It makes no bloody sense
But we've accepted it since:"My right to bear arms"
Your fright to their harms
The plight of their charms
Alight to alarmsA cycle in the news
A psycho in the news
Homicidal in the blues
For survival we must chooseTo end the bloodshed
The laws are all dead
Took a bullet to the head
The killer, homebredRewrite, resist, and rise
Not through chaos but through peace
Stand above the hate and lies
Let the killing come to cease
________________Brothers and sisters, for those of us not already in the habit, let's memorize and recite this daily when we leave our homes. Bloodshed is rising worldwide and it seems safety is not guaranteed anywhere. High schools, grocery stores, places of worship, universities, businesses, on the street, anywhere you can think of, there has been recent violence and killing in the news.
I don't say this to scare everyone or make anyone hopeless nor paranoid, just be cautious everyone. Always remember Allah wherever you are. Seek His protection from anyone who means you harm, and from the dangerous occurrences of nature as well. Make duah and put your full trust in Allah.
