Jahiliyyah, PART 2

they got hypotheses, theories, even philosophies
We got ‘Ilm & Yaqeen; now what they got on these?
p.s. ‘Ilm means knowledge, Yaqeen is certainty
they base their thinking on theft, random cosmic mistakes & even chimpanzees
they’re arrogant; We got pride
politics: a device devised specifically to hide lies
what can bureaucracy add to Al-Jama’a?
Mashura circle is open; they hide in rooms & plot
& then they LET you vote, before you choose a road
they make sure it goes down the path they wanna go
they got your mind in a maze:
you slave away for a pie in the sky you haven’t gazed for days

Do you remember the sun?
& how it makes the shadow go
from 1 side of you to the other 1?

In what phase is the moon?
Which of Your LORD’s Favors will you deny
& where’s your proof?
