Are We Human Annotated

Are we even human and are we really real?
Cuz we've been cut so many times I feel,
like we forgot what it feels like to feel.
I mean as the days go by, I just grow Cold hearted.
A senseless soul as I say my good byes to another sister who was martyred.
Paint a picture of a perfect world which is nothing short of distorted.
Nothing short of a disguise to try to hide all the lies from behind,
of all the children dying.
As a little girl cries I'm alive, I'm alive I can't believe I'm breathing.
See we're alive too sweetie but our hearts aren't really beating.
See every time I hear you scream on the screen, I'ma quickly get to leaving.
Hit the X please, I mean I really need to sleep this evening.
I mean how can I eat while I watch her bleeding.
I mean how can I turn the heat on my heaters while I watch her freezing.
So, if I hear her screaming one more time I'ma hold my breath and close my eyes
and just pretend to be dumb, deaf and blind, and I hope to death she doesn't die.
Failing to realize that our silence is a crime, that is lethal,
as we sit and blame God for the problem of evil.
Aren't you the All Powerful please turn it back to peaceful.
Despite the fact, he gave us all that we needed to free these people,
But are we even people?
And are we all really equal?
Or is it okay so as long as it doesn't happen to you?
As videos gain views all over YouTube and we see them die all day all over the news.
As we sit at home so confused still not sure what to do but hang our heads in despair.
As we watch vids of kids struggling for air screaming to God hoping he's there.
See God's right here, but you, you were where?
The only reason he let you watch them suffer was to see if you would care.
He gave you all this food you never needed just to see if you'd share
And he gave you all this money too just to see if there's a dollar you would spare
But you would hold on tightly daily and nightly
Living life as a dream - hopeful of what it might be.
But what does life mean apart from amusement and play, past times and pleasures that are destined to fade away?
Left us all deluded thinking we're going to take this all into our graves.
Nay! Live life as a traveler and only take you what you need along the way.
It's going to leave you empty handed apart from the deeds you sowed today.
From the struggle, you put forth and the charity you chose to pay
So, what have you prepared for that day.
When we stand shaking and scared sweating to our knees, and the new born is left gray haired as we are brought forth to our Lord.
Ya Allah! I seek justice screams the girl we ignored.
From the Ummah that had forsaken me despite all the times, I had called.
From the rubble, I roared and I roared, Ya Allah!
I seek justice from the wealth they would hoard.
From an Ummah that neglected the hungry and the poor.
That slept on a full stomach while we were left starving next door.
Ya Allah! You are my witness I couldn't take it anymore.
I was cold and clothe less as I slept naked on the floors.
Ya Allah! I seek justice from all the pain that was caused.
Wasn't I worth more than all the shopping sprees at the stores and the money splurged at the malls?
So, if you’re still breathing, know that there's people needing your support.
I'm pleading to please give and if you've already given please give some more!
For it's not to save their lives at all ... but by Allah, it's to save yours.
So, Give.
