New Generation
We're always complaining:
The Jews are so much better,
Cleverer, higher-aiming
Than us, more organized,
More unified. Why can't we
(Who outnumbered them
A hundred to one) ever
Get our act together? Let's see:
The Whitefield Jewish Youth
Have Cubs, Scouts, Karate
Drama, cookery, computing.
From the Fort Wayne Federation
They attend Jewish Youth
Conventions, arrange trips to Israel,
Liaise with agencies like United Way.
In the Poconos, young Jews have a summer
Camp, abrim with fun and learning.
At Brandeis, an artistic institute
For talented kids from school.
At St. Louis Jewish Center, a big gym
In which all ages can keep trim and fit.
And what do our youth do, our
Local Muslim youth? They
Wonder where to seat their
Women, so their sense
Won;t be hit. They sit
About, talking, talking
About where to sit.
Our youth is really not doing much now,. They are becoming lazy and becoming more American too fit in with their school. Sure fitting is is not all that bad, but what about forgetting your dreams, forgetting who you are? Would mahatma Gandhi have done that? Would Rosa Parks have gotten anywhere if she had done that? No. We need to remember who we used to be, we need to step up and we need to keep the faith, Allah (swt) has put us on this Earth for a reason, Not to keep up with the latest trends, or worry about our hair, or get guys to look at you, or to worship the music of Drake, Lady Gaga, or watch TV all day long. Don;t care what others people may think of you. What they think of you is not going to help you in the end. Only Allah (swt) will help you in the end. He has put us on this Earth to worship him and to create a strong unified Ummah. When the Day of Judgment comes. Drake and lady Gaga are not going to be there to speak and serve you. They are not going to be the ones to say don';t let so ans so go to Hell. It is our faith that will be there, it will be the people whose hearts that we have touched. Remember that, remember who you are and you will Inshallah be among those who are righteous. Also if you get a chance, I would recommend you to buy the book and read it.
