I am in a prison of hope
i hope our sons will be like big,
strong trees...
not like foolish homosexuals...
and i hope our daughters
will be like beautiful
decorations in the palace...
not like foolish lesbians...
i hope we will never go to war...
and i hope there will be no cries
of danger in our streets...
i hope for Allah's mercy
Allah my only prison of hope...
OKLAHOMA
CITY
Oklahoma city levelled down by tornado
Oklahoma now needs help...but what can poor myself do?
We thought collectively what we can do...
but we remember sodom and gomora
so it's a mother nature....
catastrophy from his majesty
in times when homosexuals
and lesbians legalise their rights...
ladies craving for dogs and dogs...
craving for our girls
contrary to nature
but still we got eyes but are blind...
Oklahoma we pray for yu....strong

so long as there's Allah
who changes night to day...
i'm confident some day i'll find...
sure healing for this pain...
i cling to hope...
hope is my prison
ROBBEN
Robben yu just make it happen...
when they thought you are lessen
that chance was not forbidden
yu planted in a garden
where the treasure was hidden
yu are one great among men
that courageous yu by then
i watch on tv and listen
yu made it robben!
The gift of love
If i could ask one gift from Allah-God Almighty
One gift and nothing more
I'd choose the priceless gift of love
To treasure ma store....
Then i would own the preacious balm
To cure the world of hate
I'd make ma little world a place
Where rich and poor relate....
For love can reconcile bad foes
And make us one again
So open ya wounded heart
And let love heal the pain.....
YESTERDAY
I have turned my back on yesterday
forgetting what it cost
i cannot mend the broken dreams
or call back time thats lost
i have turned my back on yesterday
embarking on God to take care of its shame
and give us tiding of happy livelihood
free from guilt and blame
for life is just a game.....

I fall to rise again
Though I have stumbled often times
And suffered shame and pain
My spirit isn’t conquered yet…
I fall to rise again
Till yu find your dream
Sometime the road yu travel
seems all uphill n wide....
Often the road seems weary
without a friend beside...
Sometymz yu feel like quitting
becoz the paths are steep...
But hold ya courage
dont put ya hopes to sleep....
AT MY
JOURNEY’S END
When my life on earth come to an end
And am laid humbly in
ma grave
I’d like to look back at my life
And feel this life has been worthwhile
I’d like to think that God needed me
And that’s why He brought me down on earth
And although I played no leading role in the past
But little did I gave some life a sense of worth
When I have climbed up life’s mountain
On I am looking down the slope
I want to hear some voice say
Becoz of you I found new hope
So let me live a gainful life
And reach out to both foe and friend
Becoz my conscience must have peace
At my last journey’s end
I fall to rise
again
Though I have stumbled often times
And suffered shame and pain
My spirit isn’t conquered yet…
I fall to rise again
