Wasted Time
Wasted Time
By Ammar AlShukry
Thinking about the time we waste
Holding onto the past a fading face
Afraid to love forward so while you’re waiting wait
For more of your life to pass while you stay in place
There are those that have problems they’re afraid to face
Use drugs and alcohol lay their brain to waste
I need my mind sharp so when I state my case
My venom is bitter so my spray they taste
It’s time to raise the gates
Cuz the people are tired and its way too late
For us to be appeased with a lil taste of cake
Born Muslim so I’ve tasted hate
War and genocide, sisters gave tasted rape
It’s bitterness countered only by the sweet taste of faith
Dreaming dreams of success long days away
So we need a generation that we pray awakes
And when you do we need you to stay awake
Cuz we seen too many an inferno have its blazes fade
In my mind I’m looking forward to amazing days
Where the hypocrites leave and the faithful stay
To take their place in a world where the stakes are raised
History is knocking, will you grace a page?
Paradise is waiting, will you case your place ?
Or will you be one of those who doesn’t know which way to take
Forever pausing and hesitating at the fates he waits
Until time passes him by, finally he fades untraced
Gaining neither of both worlds, a wasted fate..
