Real men are the rare breeds
They are moulded from the Islamic creed
They are not born out of greed
If you see one what a treat!

Now, what happened to the men?
Do they have some sense?
According to her we are all nonsense
Gee, I am really getting tensed

When Umar (ra) walked the devil diverged*
But now men and devil converged
Far we have strayed
And become the devil prey

Both men and women are guilty
Sins aplenty all filthy
Do we seek recourse?
Or at least feel remorse!

Where do we go wrong?
Our Ummah was once strong
Now, we see skimpy parade with just thong
Because we didn’t follow the two prongs**

As Muslims we reflect one another
Irregardless if you are a brother or sister
We look out for each other
Yes, we have to be concerned and bothered

Not just blaming, finger pointing
Or just claiming, I have done nothing
Turning a blind eye to sins
Is like burning your own skins.

I ask myself have I done enough?
Being A Real man, “Wow! That is tough”.
At least not to invite the Muslim curse
What more to make it worse

Is there any hope in our future?
Yes if good we nurture
Islam is a calling to Nature
Not the fighting nor torture

The life on earth is short
Lets us be a sport
Promoting good forbidding evil
And let us see fear from the devil


* Narration attributed to Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas reports The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Ibn al-Khattab, by Him in Whose hand is my self, the shaytan never met you travelling on a road but that he would travel on a road other than your road.'


**The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “I have left two things among you, as long as you hold fast to them, you will never go astray. They are the Book of Allah (Quran) and the Sunnah of His Messenger” (Narrated from Ibn `Abbas by al-Bayhaqi in al-Sunan al-Kubra (10:114 #20108) and - as part of a longer hadith - by al-Hakim (1:93=1990 ed. 1:171) who declared it sahih and - without chain - by Malik in his Muwatta'.)
