"THE HEARTBROKEN RAMADAN"

Written 2019-06-01

Why are you still fighting?

I thought my visit would keep you calm.

I thought you’d be hanging around,

with me for this whole month,

from dawn to dusk, dusk to dawn

saying prayers to Him.

What are you fighting about here?

I thought you trusted Him.

This is supposed to be

your only time with me

instead of getting angry

at each other like crazy.

I won’t be long.

My time is almost up again.

Soon I’ll be gone

until the next year comes around.

Until then,

please try to sort things out.

Nobody knows what will be next year.

That is also my fear.

If you wish for my return,

then settle these wordly matters fairly,

in the name of peace and compassion.
