I want to speak of Peace.
You say Punish
I say Forgive.
You speak of God’s Wrath
I speak of His Mercy.
Your Qur’an is a Weapon
My Qur’an is a Gift.
You speak of the Muslim brotherhood
I speak of the brotherhood of Man.
You like to Warn others
I like to Welcome them.
You like to speak of Hell
I like to speak of Heaven.
You talk of Lamentation
I talk of Celebration.
You worship the Law
I worship the Divine.
You want Silence
I want Music.
You want Death
I want Life.
You speak of Power
I speak of Love.
You search out Evil
I warm to the Good.
You dream of the Sword
I sing of the Rose petal.
You say the world is a Desert
I say the world is a Garden.
You prefer the Plain
I prefer the Adorned.
You want to Destroy
I want to Build.
You want to go Back
I want to move Forward.
You are busy Denying
I am busy Affirming.
Yet there might be one thing
On which we see eye to eye
You want Justice
So do I.
