I close the door behind me
I hear the lock click shut
I feel a cold breeze brush across my face
All of sudden I feel a sharp pain in my heart
I feel like I have stepped into a different world
Stepped into the deep realms of an hidden world
A world shielded from humanity
A world so dark and cold
A world full of heartache and pain
A world I am not a part of
I look around
I see black and white
No colour no happiness
I see suffering lurching on street corners
I see people with dual personalities
I see people turn haram to halal
And halal into haram
I see mosques empty
But clubs full
I see sisters walking around half naked
Laughing and joking about the hijab
I see children swearing and fighting
I see them vandalising the Madrasahs
I see no love and compassion
No brotherhood
Just hatred and greed
I see the devil in front of me
Looking around, marvelling at his masterpiece
I can see the smirk on his face
The look of utter satisfaction
His face disgusts me
I turn around and try to open the door
It’s locked and I can’t turn away
I have to face reality
I blink twice
I open my eyes
And I realise I have only stepped out of my house
