Righteousness

Righteousness

Ammar AlShukry

Sometimes I feel like the righteous are too righteous for my heart
So I avoid them like I avoid the devils in the dark
But those that chill all day with not even a spark
Of taqwa are equally painful to an aching heart

So who can I befriend in the end, it’s a lonely paradox
At times its better to be alone, hearing the ticking of the clock
But the sheep that travels alone, is in danger from the fox
So we pray for safe passage, knowing of the danger in which we walk
