		<description>Poem: Cry of the Oppressed

Oppressed 

Forced or is there a choice

The food I forego is not a sacrifice
It is not but as the earth is to the Universe
Only minuteness in a vast sea of space and time 

Shall I be made to suffer forever?
A question I would secretly ask myself over and over again. 

Instead scoffed at for wanting more

Should I not be content with my lot?
Should I not be content with the simplest of restrictions that a caged bird could never flee? 
Should I not be content with all the pain and misery?

Oppressors

Nay, have we not told you repeatedly
You desires are nothing but a barren tree.
You shall not receive the rays of the warm sun to penetrate thee;
You shall not feel the drops of rain as they gracefully fall from the heavens on thee;

You see we have thought this up well a long time ago…you are my servant and nothing to me. 
Your desires “hah” how dare you want?

Are you not thankful for what Allah has given to thee from above? Such ingrates have no other fate but burn in hell…But my servant if you pray real hard I promise thee…

Surely Allah forgives your outright blasphemy. Wants and desires are sinful…you we brought here for nothing else but serve thy master unquestionably.

SO please remember we will bind thee into silence and ultimately lock you up and throw away the key

We deceive the best of deceptors because you see..We truly believe that We are Almighty In DEED !!!

Destruction is on the way and so the whole world will come to see…

Oppressed

And all of this for nothing more than your Selfish Creed and Selfish Greed?

God will provide a way out of this hell you have made...I only pray that it won&#039;t bring about more misery...</description>
