The Truth That Frees

Remember death
It puts things in perspective

Remember death
As shrouds of cloth will one day cover you

Your body will soon be decay
But life will continue
And it will be fine without you

One day, tears will be smiles
And happiness will lye where pain was once felt
For those around

But Remember death
Because it's your body that is at the final rest

There's no return
No going back
Just open ends

Before your last breathe
What will you speak?
Ill or a beautiful speech
Heart taking expedition
The final space in between the ground of our feet
And the core of heat

That's all that will be left of you
And of me

A soul that has escaped
But is it truly free?

Remember there's no going back
Did you succeed?

You still have this time
This chance
Don't let it waste
Every breath that is breathed
Has to have purpose
Needs to have meaning

Let that taste, sit on your tongue
Your Lips moist with words of love
Of praise

Before the day they are sealed and it becomes empty space

Fill the joy within others
With food and drink
And remember a smile is free
Because one day while your body is laid bare
The only thing left will be the remainder of your deeds

Your social media?
Your feeds?
What good will they be?

One day you will be a vague memory
Replaced with a time that doesn't end
And soon a new generation that will live

So what is it?
What are you leaving?
What will follow you to the grave
Before you soul is questioned
And either ripped from you
Or pulled gently

What will await you?

Do you see?

Our home is one
That we will all meet
But are we ready?

To truly be free
And the utterance of our words
To be what frees
Let what we recite be
The declaration of one the truth above all
There is no God but One
Islam is our deen
And we beleive
That Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the last messenger to be
