He slips!
by Bint Abdul Khaliq
"Go on man...just one puff!"
"No ways! Are you crazy! Its Haraam"
"Haraam! Ha! You never worried about that before."
"My mother will kill me!"
"That old woman! She doesn't have to know."
One puff man...
and all your problems will disappears...
it's magic...bliss...go on, be a MAN!"
"........OK fine! But just this once."
And so it begins.
A MOTHER'S BROKEN HEART
You can never understand my feelings ;
those feelings that reside in my heart .
The sorrow , the rejection , the helplessness ,
tearing me slowly apart.
Did I not carry him in my womb
for all those many months ?
Did I not for him sacrifice
my effort , my time , my wants ?
And this is how he repays me!
By destroying his life and mine!
By physically and verbally abusing me !
Oh , for my once sweet son do I pine !
My ambitions and hopes for him
are now no more than wistful dreams.
Accountancy , medicine , teaching -
But no , he's chosen drug addiction , it seems !
I wonder what I did to deserve this ,
I wonder what it was that I did wrong .
Oh ! You hateful evil drugs ,
whoever did invite you along ?
You can never understand my feelings ,
as life for me drags on .
I shall persist in reclaiming my son.
No matter how long it takes.
I WANT HIM BACK AGAIN!
